National Sepsis Data Research, Outcomes, and Innovation Act or LuLu's Law

This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to address sepsis. (Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.)

In particular, HHS must

  • standardize the definition of sepsis;
  • make sepsis a nationally notifiable condition;
  • develop a national strategy for treating and eliminating the burden of sepsis; and
  • establish a national sepsis data trust to improve the collection and sharing of data concerning sepsis cases, including through grants to support state-based data trusts.
