**Ohio Hospital Association (OHA): **
OHA is leading a statewide sepsis mortality reduction initiative to improve early recognition and treatment of sepsis. Since the beginning of OHA’s initiative, Ohio hospitals have achieved a 13.6 percent reduction in sepsis mortality resulting in more than 2,600 lives saved.
OHA invites hospitals, community health organizations, first responders and providers at all levels of care to join the OHA Signs of Sepsis Initiative. The OHA SOS campaign aims to raise awareness of the signs of sepsis and increase early recognition and intervention across the continuum of care. Check out the “Be a Lifesaver: Know the Signs of Sepsis” video and ohiohospitals.org/sos for additional information.
