Join #HMS today at #ATS2025 session D102 to see our poster “Peri-Discharge Care Coordination after Sepsis Hospitalization”.

Update from #ATS2025 - #HMS data suggests that despite guidelines treating viral and bacterial sepsis the same, viral sepsis patients often receive less guideline-recommended care.

#HMS shared findings on timely antibiotic treatment in patients with sepsis induced hypotension at #ATS2025 Better recognition = faster treatment = improved outcomes.

#HMS shared findings from a study of 66 #HMS hospitals at #ATS2025 revealing that robust implementation of the CDCs 2023 Core Elements - especially goal-setting and performance tracking - has the potential to improve sepsis and patient outcomes.

Don’t miss our presentations today at #ATS2025 session C96. Join Hallie Prescott, MD MSc, Elizabeth Munroe MD MSc and Claire Shappell as they discuss our latest work in sepsis care.

📢If you're going to the ATS 2025 International Conference in San Francisco, CA, from May 16 to May 25, 2025. Be sure to stop by and check out our #HMS poster and oral presentations! 👏
