Public health professionals and organizations have an opportunity to create a more comprehensive sepsis prevention strategy that spans the continuum of care and merges existing infection prevention strategies with chronic disease management and improved education on the signs and symptoms of worsening infection and sepsis. Recent public health efforts have improved our understanding of US national sepsis epidemiology and focused on increasing sepsis awareness. Additional opportunities and challenges include creating more integrated sepsis and infection prevention programs that encompass outpatient and inpatient care.
公共卫生专业人员和组织有机会创建一个更全面的脓毒症预防策略，该策略跨越护理连续体，并将现有的感染预防策略与慢性病管理和关于感染和脓毒症恶化迹象和症状的教育改进相结合。最近的公共卫生工作提高了我们对美国国家脓毒症流行病学的理解，并侧重于提高脓毒症意识。其他机会和挑战包括创建更具整合性的脓毒症和感染预防计划，涵盖门诊和住院护理。
