Better Care Victoria has released an evaluation report on its ‘Think Sepsis. Act Fast.’ program, which was led by NCAS director Prof. Karin Thursky. The program has saved 52 lives and avoided 96 ICU admissions while in use at 11 Victorian health services over four months. Today is World Sepsis Day, bringing awareness to this critical health issue. Prof. Thursky has been shortlisted as a finalist for Research Australia's Health Services Research Award. Smarter use of antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines – drawing upon data showing when and how they are being prescribed – has been a key focus of Prof. Thursky’s career. See here.
