🌙 That's a wrap on the Summer HMS CWM. Thank you to every #hospital, presenter, & abstractor who joined us for a day of learning & collaboration. We're leaving inspired by the ideas exchanged & partnerships that make safer care possible for patients across #Michigan. 💙

🫁 Dr. Paul Bozyk, one of the physician co-leads for the new HMS #CriticalCare Initiative, led today’s breakout session on #MechanicalVentilation - blending clinical education with practical examples to support understanding in abstraction.

📖 James Shen, PharmD, BCIDP, and Michael Barnes, MD, of Trinity Health Oakland shared their #AntimicrobialStewardship work in #ASB by reframing the problem and building better conversations about #antibiotic use and documentation. 💙

💊 Alicia Powell, RN, & Lauren Cianciolo, PharmD, of Memorial Healthcare walked us through their work in #DiagnosticStewardship in #ASB. A reminder that #stewardship is built through partnership across the care team.

💻 Megan Cahill, DO, MBA of @henryfordhealth.bsky.social shared the work behind their redesigned #sepsis screening alerts in the #EmergencyDepartment. A thoughtful reimagining of how the #EMR can better support clinicians in identifying & acting on sepsis.

Carly Redstone, MSN, RN of Univ. of Michigan Health shared her team's work evaluating the Sepsis Screening & Response at today's CWM and the power of UM Health sites working together toward an enterprise gold standard. 🤝

Thank you, @ranaawdish.bsky.social, for your inspiring "After Shock" presentation at our meeting today. You gave us all a powerful reminder that true healing asks us to see our patients as whole, wise partners in their care. 💙 www.ranaawdishmd.com/book

👏 And thank you to @mclarenhealth.bsky.social for showing how reimagining abstraction through a unified, system-wide model can strengthen #collaboration across hospitals. We appreciate you sharing the insights that made this transformation possible. 💙

👏 Thank you to MyMichigan Health for showcasing how multidisciplinary #collaboration can drive meaningful improvements in #sepsis care. We appreciate your willingness to share your experience and help fellow HMS members learn from your journey.

💙 To our HMS data abstractors: thank you for your expertise, curiosity, and commitment to improving patient care. Your work strengthens this collaborative every day, and we're grateful for everything you do.

☀️Good morning from the HMS Collaborative Wide Meeting! We're excited to welcome #healthcare professionals from across Michigan for a day of learning, collaboration, and innovation to improve patient care. Let's get started! 🎉

Grateful to Claire Shappell & Chanu Rhee for their thoughtful JAMA Network Open commentary on our sepsis fluid resuscitation study. We also thank HMS Collaborative members for the rigorous data collection that made this work possible. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Closing the Gaps in Early Sepsis Fluid Resuscitation

Intravenous fluid resuscitation is a cornerstone of early sepsis management, yet the optimal fluid volume and target population for early resuscitation remain controversial. The Surviving Sepsis Campa...

Grateful to attend the Unite for Sepsis Symposium and hear Dr. Androni Henry of BCBSM discuss aligning systems to improve sepsis outcomes. Better care takes hospitals, health plans, clinicians, collaboratives, and communities working together. #Sepsis #PatientSafety #BCBSM

Check out our new study in JAMA Network Open: In 25,481 patients hospitalized with community-onset sepsis across 67 Michigan hospitals, ≥30 mL/kg initial fluid resuscitation was associated with lower adjusted 30-day mortality. Check it out here - jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Powerful panel with sepsis survivors and nurse researcher Kathryn Bowles, whose I-TRANSFER research highlights the vital role of home care nursing after discharge. Sepsis recovery doesn’t end at the hospital door—post-discharge support is key to reducing readmissions and improving outcomes.

Happy to attend Unite for Sepsis Symposium and to hear keynote speaker Stephanie Taylor Parks on caring for sepsis patients across the full journey—from early identification to discharge and post-discharge support. Like baseball, recovery means staying in the game and not giving

Today, HMS Quality & Safety Program Manager Pat Posa is on Capitol Hill advocating for greater sepsis awareness, prevention, and timely treatment. Sepsis can happen to anyone. Early recognition saves lives — and strong policy can, too. #SepsisAwareness #HillDay #PatientSafety

We are heartbroken by the tragic news being shared about Kyle Busch. It’s a reminder to learn the signs of sepsis—an infection can turn life-threatening fast. Please watch Pat Posa’s interview and know the warning signs. Awareness saves lives: www.fox2detroit.com/video/fmc-vk...

Death of NASCAR racer Kyle Busch sparks conversations on sepsis

Here's what you need to know about sepsis following the sudden death of 41-year-old NASCAR driver Kyle Busch.

Proud to see HMS work highlighted at the 2026 MI-SCCM Annual Research Symposium! 🎉 Alyssa Steinhoff & Dr. Bhushan Deshpande presented on short stay outcomes and nurse-initiated sepsis standing orders. Great work advancing patient care across Michigan! 👏 #SCCM #QI

Timely #sepsis care matters. In >35,000 patients, faster antibiotic administration was associated with a 3% higher likelihood of discharge home, and fluids (when indicated) also helped. Early treatment may improve recovery beyond survival. #HMS www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congratulations to @Jakob_McSparron on the Outstanding Educator Award at #ATS2026! 🏆 His dedication to training the next generation of #CriticalCare physicians has left a lasting mark on medical education in Michigan. We are so grateful for his early partnership on our #Sepsis Initiative. 🌟

Congrats to Dr. Elizabeth Viglianti on the Jo Rae Wright Award for Outstanding Science at #ATS2026! 🏆 This recognition is a testament to her dedication to critically ill patients and their families. So proud to have her as one of our HMS #CriticalCare leads. 🌟

Attending the #ATS2026 Plenary today to hear @RanaAwdishMD speak on hope, presence, and healing after #CriticalIllness — as both physician and patient 🩺Can't wait for our members to hear her at the HMS July Collaborative Meeting 2026 🌟

Excited to share our work on #sepsis at #ATS2026 🩺 Nearly 1 in 10 of >52,000 community-onset sepsis patients were SIRS-negative — less likely to receive early care, yet with higher risk-adjusted mortality. These findings highlight limitations of SIRS-based screening. #CriticalCare

Bringing Michigan perspectives to #ATS2026 🔬 New work from HMS: how clinicians navigate #sepsis in short stay units — and why "low-risk" means something different to nurses vs. physicians. Grateful to everyone who shared their experiences.
