Impact of a hypoglycemia reduction bundle and a systems approach to inpatient glycemic management.
In order to improve inpatient glycemic management in a 550-bed academic medical center, the researchers implemented a hypoglycemia reduction bundle, proactive surveillance of glycemic outliers, and an interdisciplinary data-driven approach to glycemic management. By using this approach with multiple mutually reinforcing interventions, they were able to cut severe inpatient hypoglycemia by more than half, while simultaneously improving glycemic control.
