The GENESIS Project (GENeralized Early Sepsis Intervention Strategies): A Multicenter Quality Improvement Collaborative

Conclusions: Patients with severe sepsis and septic shock receiving the RB in community and tertiary hospitals experience similar and significant reductions in mortality and hospital length of stay. These findings remained consistent when examined in both before-and-after and concurrent analyses. Early sepsis intervention strategies are associated with 1 life being saved for every 7 treated.
