Pathway Toolkit
The Paediatric Sepsis Pathway is for emergency departments and inpatient wards caring for children across Queensland. It can be used by people without formal training in quality improvement or change management techniques. It's intended to support facilities in ongoing communication, education, sustainability and evaluation measures.
It aligns with the Sepsis Clinical Care Standard developed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care. This is to ensure patients presenting with signs and symptoms of sepsis get optimal care, from symptoms onset through to discharge from hospital and survivorship care.
Facilities are encouraged to adapt and expand the Pathway Toolkit to suit their local context.
