CDC's update

Register for the New Sepsis Core Elements
Webinar Series with Free CE*

Starting in October, CDC’s Project Firstline is kicking off a five-part webinar series for healthcare professionals in collaboration with the American Medical Association to introduce the Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements, a framework to help U.S. hospitals implement, monitor, and optimize institutional sepsis programs and sepsis outcomes. The Sepsis Core Elements complement existing sepsis guidelines and help facilitate implementation of guideline-recommended care practices at a wide variety of hospitals and healthcare systems in the United States.

During each one-hour webinar, sepsis subject matter experts will provide an overview of the Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements, and partners will share real-life examples, strategies, and best practices about how they have successfully implemented specific Sepsis Core Elements at their organization. Each webinar topic is independent, and all webinars will be recorded. Free Continuing Education (CE)* will be offered upon successful completion of a post-test. Upcoming Sepsis Core Elements Webinars:  Leadership Commitment: October 2, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. ET Accountability and Multi-Professional Expertise: October 16, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. ET Action: November 2, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. ET Tracking and Reporting: November 16, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. ET Education: Coming Soon

Register today for the first webinar, view the full schedule of upcoming events, and share with your network: https://bit.ly/CDCSepsisWebinars. To learn more about sepsis and how to prevent infections, visit www.cdc.gov/sepsis. *CE for this series is pending.

COVID-19 Immunity

Immunity against COVID-19 is stronger today than at any other point since COVID-19 emerged. Immunity from vaccines and/or previous infection acts like a shield against the virus and reduces your chance of getting a serious infection. But we still need to be cautious because immune protection decreases over time. This is especially important for older adults, who make up most of the hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19.

We also have to remember that the virus that causes COVID-19 continues to change. For example, we are currently learning more about a newer variant called BA.2.86. It’s a reminder to use the tools we have to fight COVID-19.


Here are ways to keep you and your loved ones safe as we head into the fall season.

COVID-19 Vaccines

The updated COVID-19 vaccine is likely to be available in mid-September. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will meet tomorrow, September 12, 2023, to review scientific data and is expected to discuss and vote on vaccine recommendations. Meetings are open to the public and available online via live webcast.

COVID Data

COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are increasing in the United States but remain relatively low compared to peaks seen last year. Although hospitalization rates have increased in all age groups since early July, rates have increased the most in adults 65 years and older and in infants and children, especially infants younger than 6 months. Keep an eye on COVID-19 levels in your area by visiting the COVID Data Tracker.

CDC update

New Sepsis Core Elements to Help Patients Receive Faster & Better Care In the U.S., one in three people who dies in a hospital had sepsis during that hospitalization. Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. However, according to CDC’s latest survey, only half of U.S. hospitals provide dedicated time for sepsis program leaders to manage programs. These data highlight opportunities for hospitals to ensure effective teams and resources are in place to quickly identify and treat sepsis to save more lives. Today, CDC is releasing the first-ever Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements to help all hospitals, regardless of size or location, implement, monitor, and optimize sepsis programs and improve survival rates. The development of a multi-disciplinary sepsis program is critical to monitoring and improving the management and recovery of patients with sepsis. Sepsis programs have been associated with reductions in hospital mortality, length of stay, and healthcare costs. September is Sepsis Awareness Month and CDC encourages patients and healthcare professionals to share Get Ahead of Sepsis resources and to learn how to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their patients from sepsis. Be sure to follow official CDC social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube to stay tuned for more information about Sepsis Awareness Month 2023 using the hashtag #SAM2023.

This is five times more than in 2007. In the last 15 years since WHO’s MPOWER tobacco control measures were introduced globally, smoking rates have fallen.
