Abionic Sponsored Webinar: Sepsis at the Front Door: How Coordinators and Nurses Triage Life-or-Death Decisions
Includes a Live Web Event on 11/11/2025 at 11:00 AM (PST)
Webinar Description:
When a patient with suspected sepsis arrives in the emergency department, every minute matters. This sponsored webinar brings together Sepsis Coordinators and frontline nurses for a candid discussion on how early detection, triage workflows, and diagnostic tools can mean the difference between recovery and rapid decline.
Moderated by Heather Orgeron, DNP, MSN, RN, Performance Improvement Supervisor, Stroke Coordinator, and Sepsis Coordinator at Ochsner Health, the panel builds on insights from the June 2025 national focus group on sepsis workflow. Speakers will explore real-world challenges, from early warning system gaps and EHR alert fatigue to the urgent need for faster, more actionable point-of-care diagnostics.
Attendees will learn practical strategies to:
- Strengthen sepsis screening and escalation protocols;
- Reduce workflow delays that cost critical time;
- Bridge the gap between clinical practice and diagnostic innovation.
Join us November 11 for this frontline conversation on how hospitals can move sepsis intervention closer to the moment of patient arrival.
