The Sepsis Program has demonstrated the capability to increase tested knowledge in early identification and treatment of sepsis among trainees by over 46 percent. The program has also demonstrated an improvement in consistency of test scores among participants, with a 58 percent reduction in test score standard deviation. The integrated simulation and didactic curriculum provides the greatest improvement in learning over traditional teaching methodologies. MSC has delivered the Sepsis Program to healthcare providers representing a range of institutions, from community hospitals to large academic teaching hospitals, demonstrating wide applicability among healthcare professionals with varied clinical backgrounds and previous training.
MSC will provide hands-on, interactive demonstrations of the Sepsis Program, and all MSC Quality Initiative Programs at booth #707 during the IHI National Forum. More information about MSC Programs and available training options will be available at IHI and can also be found online at www.medsimulation.com.
