A roadmap for successful state sepsis regulations-lessons from New York.
This study looked at the reasons why New York State’s 2013 sepsis regulations were successful in improving mortality compared to less successful sepsis policies at the federal level. The authors recruited thirteen key stakeholders from three groups including four New Year State policymakers and seven clinicians and hospital association leaders involved in the creation and implementation of the 2013 New York State sepsis regulations, as well as two members of patient advocacy groups. The group identified themes related to participant perceptions of the sepsis policy, factors that influenced the policy’s perceived successes, and opportunities for improvement. A major factor that created early buy-in was engaging a diverse array of stakeholders in the development of the policy. Policymakers also worked to provide a balance between the desire for comprehensive reporting and the burden of data collection. The regulations also touched on all three major domains of sepsis quality: structure, process, and outcomes.
