Former Clarkson Healthcare MBA students Devneet Singh and Shayhaan Shaikh were recently honored with the Home Care Association’s (HCA) 2022 Quality and Innovation Award.
Now second-year medical students at Albany Medical College, Singh and Shaikh conducted research and developed a pediatric sepsis screening and intervention tool for home health. The tool was adjusted to be used on three different age groups ranging from newborn to 17 years-old.
What began as a class project during the MBA Leadership in Medicine (LIM) curriculum, in partnership with HCA, quickly gained support and traction for a more expansive state-wide initiative. As noted by local reporter Benita Zahn, “considering that the odds of death from sepsis increases 8% every hour treatment is delayed, this screening tool is sure to be a lifesaver.”
