Virtual Event: Sepsis and Post-Sepsis Syndrome

Join VITAS Healthcare for a webinar and learn about sepsis and post-sepsis syndrome given by Heather Veeder, regional medical director at VITAS Healthcare, on Thursday, October 15. 

Which of your seriously ill patients and residents are most at risk for sepsis or post-sepsis syndrome? How will you know when they’re eligible for hospice care?

A case study of a 66-year-old patient provides the backdrop for an exploration  of these two serious conditions, including:

• Hospice eligibility for sepsis and the underlying diagnoses that contribute to vulnerability
• Benefits of timely referrals to hospice during hospitalization and post-acute phases
• Risks and indicators of poor prognosis for sepsis and post-sepsis syndrome
• The value of advance care planning

This webinar offers both CE and CME credit. One continuing education credit hour is available. Physicians and associate medical directors in long-term care settings, nurse practitioners, directors and associate directors of nursing, social workers and MDS coordinators should attend. To see the event flier, visit here.

This event is FREE to attend and will be held virtually. Registration is required.
