In the last year, Nova Scotia Health implemented a sepsis action improvement plan in six health care facilities throughout the province. It's worked so well, now, they're rolling it out province wide. In a first for Canada, all ER nurses across Nova Scotia will be able to administer antibiotics to anyone they suspect of having sepsis by the end of the month — a move that advocates are saying can, and will, save lives. We speak to Dr. Vanessa Sweet -- the medical co-lead of NHS' sepsis action improvement plan — about how Nova Scotia is changing how they approach sepsis, and what other provinces can learn from the work they're doing.
