Mission
Our mission is to advance sepsis care and prevention through rigorous clinical and epidemiological research that informs clinical practice, public health strategy, and healthcare policy.
About
The Center for Sepsis Epidemiology and Prevention Studies (SEPSIS) at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute is dedicated to improving sepsis outcomes through innovative and impactful research. Our center unites Harvard Medical School-appointed faculty with expertise in infectious diseases, critical care, healthcare epidemiology, biostatistics, and data science and includes internationally recognized leaders in sepsis surveillance, prevention, and policy.
By leveraging robust partnerships with local and national healthcare delivery systems, public health agencies, and other leading academic institutions -- as well as unparalleled access to large electronic health record datasets -- we are uniquely positioned to identify key risk factors, develop innovative surveillance methods and quality metrics, and design effective strategies to combat this life-threatening condition.
