The Commission has released a landmark Sepsis Epidemiology Report, offering the most comprehensive national analysis to date of hospital-treated sepsis in Australia. Drawing on more than 900,000 hospitalisations from 2013–14 to 2022–23, the report confirms that sepsis is more widespread, deadly, and costly than previously understood, with over 84,000 sepsis hospitalisations in 2022–23 alone.

This interactive PDF illustrates the Coordination of care and post-sepsis support - Model of Care Framework to support local conversations about the sepsis patient journey and the quality and safety improvement opportunities across transitions of care.

This Model of Care Framework describes the principles and processes to support local conversations about what is needed to strengthen quality and safety and drive continuous improvement in sepsis care coordination and post sepsis support.

This business case highlights how investment in sepsis coordination and post-sepsis support aligns with the delivery of the National Health Reform Agreement and can contribute to the reduction in avoidable sepsis readmissions.

This report is a companion document which describes how the model of care and business case were developed and outlines the evidence used to underpin statements and claims. It also provides case examples to illustrate how the model may be implemented.

This issue includes items on Lean quality improvement, health literacy, quality, sustainability, value, multidisciplinary teams, and more. Along with the latest from Health Affairs BMJ Quality & Safety and the International Journal for Quality in Health Care.
