Specifically, Sutter Health’s Sacramento Sierra Region plans to use the funds to implement processes to reduce the incidence and mortality rates from sepsis and septic shock. It also will use the funds to implement quality improvement programs to support nursing leadership, and to support programs to help patients maintain blood sugar levels within normal ranges.
