Sepsis is a frequent, difficult-to-manage clinical condition associated with very high mortality when accompanied by organ failure or a state of shock. Sepsis and septic shock represent a medical emergency. The Golden Hour concept already expressed for other time-dependent diseases applies to sepsis and septic shock. The identification of patients with sepsis and the timely initiation of appropriate treatment have a significant impact on survival and associated morbidity. Since 2016, the Region of Tuscany has undertaken a process of comprehensive and participatory redesign of its emergency room set-ups that aims to integrate the assessment of priority and complexity in order to direct the patient to the most appropriate pathway.
