Fidelity of intervention, assessed as \>75% of participants receiving assigned intervention Researchers will assess the feasibility of comparing two groups: (1) Control - usual ICU discharge care, and (2) Intervention - usual ICU discharge care plus the receipt of an educational sepsis brochure and an explicit opportunity to ask questions about sepsis, answered by a trained intensive care unit (ICU) Registered Nurse. Participants will receive intervention or control just prior to their discharge from ICU.
