Embracing the Champion Model

“Practice transformation requires a sustained improvement effort that is guided by a larger vision and commitment, which assures that individual changes fit together into a meaningful whole” (Shaw et al., 2012).

Project Champions are experts in a particular arena of healthcare and they help achieve organizational goals.

Prompt identification and treatment of sepsis is an organizational goal of every healthcare institution and is extremely impactful on patient morbidity and mortality rates.

More on the Champion Model

The champion model has been

embraced in many areas of healthcare

that involve nursing sensitive indicators, as

well as patient experience overall:

CAUTI

Falls

Patient Experience

Hourly Rounding

Skin Care

With a strong group of champions in

place, hospitals are able to achieve

change on a large scale.

What is the Role of a Sepsis Champion?

Sepsis Champions help to optimize sepsis

management and emphasize the importance

of early recognition and timely treatment.

Sepsis Champions facilitate sepsis care and

optimize patient outcomes through:

Early identification of sepsis

Escalation of care for patients with sepsis

Initiation of treatment/ sepsis protocol

Continuity of treatment/ completion of sepsis

protocol

Getting Started!

Tug at the heart strings

What do our Sepsis Champions Look Like?

We use champions from all units!

Goal is 2 RNs from every unit – 1 day shift & 1 night shift

What do our Sepsis Champions do?

Attend all monthly meetings of the Sepsis Committee

Ensure the meeting information is passed along to their respective units

Bring any questions from the units back to the committee

Help identify gaps in practice

Assist with process improvement projects

Help educate their units – Some are being trained to do full Sepsis Education

How to keep the program going?

Do check ins with your sepsis champions without the “full

committee”

Every year evaluate who is involved in the committee

Ensure monthly that you evaluate who is attending the meetings

If a sepsis champion must step down, ask them if they have a

replacement

Every meeting have a round table! You never know what may be

brought up!

What will your Sepsis Champions

look like???
