Sepsis & NVHAP 

Presented by Jo Ann Brooks PhD, RN, FCCP, FAAN

This comprehensive educational program is designed for healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of sepsis and non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NVHAP), two critical conditions that significantly impact patient outcomes and healthcare systems. Through an evidence-based and clinically relevant approach, the program will explore the pathophysiology, risk factors, and correlation between sepsis and NVHAP, while emphasizing the importance of early identification, prevention and management strategies.

Participants will gain insights into the financial and quality implications of these conditions, including their role in hospital readmissions, increased length of stay and mortality rates. The course will also cover how sepsis and NVHAP influence hospital performance metrics and reimbursement under Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) value-based programs.

In addition, attendees will become familiar with the latest CMS quality initiatives and value programs that incentivize improved care delivery, such as the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program (HVBP) and Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program (HACRP). The program will conclude with a review of up-to-date clinical guidelines for the management of sepsis and the prevention of NVHAP, equipping healthcare providers with the tools needed to help deliver safe, high-quality care.

Objectives:

• Explain the etiology of sepsis and the correlation with NVHAP
• Describe the financial and quality implications of spesis and NVHAP as well as CMS value and quality programs
• Discuss the clinical guidelines for management of sepsis and prevention of NVHAP
