During this webinar, we will provide an overview of the current landscape of sepsis management and the impact of rapid culture-independent diagnostics on healthcare systems. We will present the best practices for implementing T2 sepsis panels based on first-hand experience at the University of Louisville Hospital. We will also review how implementing T2 sepsis panels can impact laboratory workflow and patient outcomes. Speakers will discuss “Choosing Wisely,” a framework encompassing diagnostic stewardship to drive practice changes that will improve the quality of care for patients suspected of sepsis while also optimizing healthcare resources.
