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.

Designing and evaluating health systems level hypertension control interventions for African-Americans: lessons from a pooled analysis of three cluster randomized trials.
This study conducted a pooled analysis of three projects that aimed to evaluate clinically feasible interventions to effect changes in medical care delivery leading to an increased proportion of African American patients with controlled blood pressure (BP). The analysis of trial results to determine the magnitude of the combined intervention effect found that pooled BP did not differ significantly between intervention and control clusters.
