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???
