In particular, HHS must
- standardize the definition of sepsis;

- 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.
