Colleagues, The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has sponsored an open access supplement in the Journal of Hospital Medicine featuring a manuscript detailing the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Sepsis on Inpatient Wards Quality Improvement Collaborative. Congratulations and thanks to many of you and your hospitals who participated to screen ward/floor patients for sepsis - every patient, every shift, every day making this publication possible. The work has now been documented in this manuscript, in an online book Spotlight on Success<https://store.sccm.org/SearchResults.aspx?searchterm=spotlight&searchoption=ALL> and coming in 2017, an implementation guide.
The manuscript<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jhm.2656/full> by Schorr et al. entitled, Implementation of a multicenter performance improvement program for early detection and treatment of severe sepsis in general medical-surgical wards recaps the ground-breaking work of a 60 hospital collaborative segmented into 4 regions of the United States. Since the manuscript is open access, please share this work widely in your hospitals. This article is one of several in the supplement<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jhm.v11.S1/issuetoc> now available online. Best, Lori Lori A.
