Summary
The SEPSIS Act directs the CDC to run a national sepsis team that will educate hospitals, improve data on pediatric sepsis, and work with Medicare‑Medicaid officials on quality measures. It also sets up a voluntary award program for hospitals that show strong sepsis care. The goal is to lower the high death rate from sepsis, especially among children, and the bill provides $20 million a year for five years.
