Claudia Orth, BSN, RN, earned her BSN from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, and has over 20 years of experience working as a registered nurse in critical care, clinical quality, patient safety, and sepsis.

In her role as the Director of Professional Education and Training, she oversees all health care professional education programming and activities, including the newly relaunched Sepsis Alliance Institute, which encompasses the online, free to join, Sepsis Alliance Institute Learning Management System (LMS) and the Sepsis Alliance Institute clinical community, where health care professionals can learn, share resources, and engage in peer-to-peer networking and clinical discussions.

Prior to joining Sepsis Alliance, Ms Orth spent 9 years serving as the inaugural Sepsis Coordinator for northern Michigan’s largest health system. In that role she collaborated with multi-disciplinary stakeholders to implement a robust sepsis program and developed evidence-based electronic early warning alerts, screening tools, and order sets. She also led system-wide didactic, and high- and low-fidelity simulation education, and performed data abstraction and data analysis to identify key performance improvement opportunities for the organization.

In her free time, she loves watching her 2 children play sports, spending time with family and friends, traveling, cooking, and taking advantage of all the beautiful bodies of water and surrounding nature that northern Michigan has to offer.
