The key to improving patient outcomes lies in the monitoring and rapid recognition of any changes to enable a clinically informed decision. We will talk some of the current challenges and how existing technology can help identify patient deterioration more quickly with a live demonstration showing how equipment already in hospitals can reduce errors & save time directly improving patient outcomes.

Septicemia is a serious clinical condition with roundabout 123,000 cases of sepsis a year in England. In recent years there have been great advances in improving time to identification of pathogens causing sepsis. One of the key methods is the Bruker MBT Sepsityper® IVD Kit which can be used together with the MALDI Biotyper® for fast identification of causative pathogens from Positive Blood Cultures.

Speakers:
Francis Yongblah - Laboratory Manager Microbiology and Virology.

Speaker: Dr Anna Batchelor, Consultant anaesthetist and intensivist, Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Chair, Critical Care Leadership Forum

Patients who recover from sepsis (sepsis survivors) have long-term health problems. One in three sepsis survivors are re-hospitalised within 30-days and one in six sepsis survivors die within a year following hospital discharge.

Using technology to support people to remain in the place of their choice for longer, this session will take us on a journey to create a vision for the future of health care monitoring, system interfaces that compliment current pathways, working smartly towards a common goal.
