The Statewide Recognise Early Signs and Initiate Sepsis Treatment (RESIST Sepsis Program) was launched in May 2017 and aims to reduce mortality from sepsis in Queensland over the next 3-5 years.

The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Service (PSQIS) established the program in response to the increasing number of sepsis episodes and sepsis-related adverse events in Queensland, similar to national and international trends. The WHO and World Health Assembly announced sepsis as a global health priority in May 2017.

The program will initially focus on adult and paediatric emergency departments, with pilot sites testing the change package designed to be adopted and adapted in sites across Queensland. Over subsequent phases the program will address sepsis presentations in the rural and remote setting, inpatients, and maternity.

After the pilot, it is proposed the initiative will be spread using the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (USA) Breakthrough Collaborative Methodology (BTS). The pilot will be evaluated in April/May 2018 with the BTS commencing in June 2018.

Statewide adult and paediatric sepsis forums were led by the Clinical Excellence Division in May and August 2017. Gold Coast Health launched the Outsmart Sepsis Project on 13 September 2017.

“I hope the RESIST Sepsis Program will generate more awareness regarding sepsis, because as second time parents it wasn't until we were in the grasps of losing our daughter that we knew or understood anything about the disease,” – Gold Coast mum Anita Douglas whose 18-month old daughter Lily (pictured above) survived sepsis.
