National Sepsis Data Trust and Innovation Act
This act aims to improve the fight against sepsis in the U.S. by establishing a national data collection system for the disease. This will provide doctors and researchers with better access to information, potentially leading to faster diagnosis, more effective treatment, and improved patient care, especially for high-risk groups. Citizens can expect an improvement in the quality of healthcare related to sepsis.
