Episode Notes

In this second installment of Key In to Quality’s sepsis series, we turn the spotlight on Mayo Clinic Florida. Sepsis, which affects 1.7 million Americans each year, demands rapid recognition and treatment—yet delays remain common and deadly.

Devang Sanghavi, M.D. and Kristine Thompson, M.D. detail how their team tackled the challenge by combining artificial intelligence with human expertise. Their approach pairs highly sensitive AI “sepsis sniffers” with clinician validation to minimize false alarms while ensuring no patient slips through the cracks. Supported by a dynamic electronic checklist and real-time feedback, care teams can act quickly and confidently at the bedside. 

Listeners will gain practical insights on building a strong multidisciplinary team, integrating technology without disrupting workflow, and sustaining momentum to deliver safer, more equitable sepsis care.
