The Henry Ford Health System Sepsis Program was established in 2021 building upon the longstanding legacy established through the work of Dr. Emanuel Rivers and the Department of Emergency Medicine at Henry Ford Hospital. Dr. Rivers’ landmark early goal directed therapy (EGDT) trial conducted at the Henry Ford Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine (DEM), established the driving principles of modern sepsis care through a bundled approach. The remarkable outcomes of this trial and the significant impact on mortality, serve as the launchpad for the publication of the surviving sepsis campaign, various policies, protocols and laws. These principles further provided the foundation for the National Quality Forum (NQF) measure #0500 which is the basis for the CMS SEP-1 sepsis bundles. The international influence Henry Ford Hospital has had regarding the delivery of early sepsis care cannot be understated and has led to a significant number of lives saved over the last 3 decades. The Henry Ford Health Sepsis Program strives to continue this legacy. Our vision includes promoting awareness and education on sepsis related best practices that impact patient outcomes. The 2nd annual Sepsis Symposium focuses on key topics related to various aspects of sepsis care. The goal of the conference is to summarize best practices in sepsis and summarize the principles of building a clinical quality sepsis program. We have an exciting line up of expert to discuss hot topics in sepsis in 2024. We are also privileged to be able to hear from sepsis survivors as part of a fascinating sepsis survivors panel session. The conference will feature topics related to: Building a clinical quality program for sepsis, Best practices for sepsis fluid resuscitation and de-resuscitation, The interplay of sepsis and other organs such as the heart and the kidney, Best practices and implementation, Maternal sepsis, and Life after sepsis.
