Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effects of multidisciplinary process improvement interventions on controlling blood sugar levels in an urban hospital from 2010 to 2014, focusing on daily average glucose as the main metric.
- Five interventions were introduced, including staff education, protocols for managing high and low blood sugar, computerized insulin ordering, and better coordination of meal delivery and insulin administration.
- Results showed a significant reduction in time between insulin administration and meal delivery, with lower average daily glucose levels and a sustainable decrease in sliding scale insulin use, demonstrating the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary approach in managing inpatient glycemic control.
