The Sepsis Clinical Care Standard contains seven quality statements that describe the health care that should be provided to patients of all ages with signs and symptoms of sepsis. It also addresses the care that should be provided in hospital and after discharge, including survivorship. This guide explains what each quality statement from the Clinical Care Standard means for patients and their families.

This resource accompanies the Sepsis Clinical Care Standard. It describes what the quality statements mean for healthcare services and provides indicators to support local quality improvement activity. It outlines key considerations for healthcare services in regard to equity and cultural safety.
