A user-centered glucose-insulin data display for the inpatient setting.
Researchers sought to develop a set of user-centered displays of capillary glucose data and insulin dose to improve inpatient management of insulin-dependent diabetes. Their proposed conceptual data display prototype is designed to simplify the presentation and visualization of key information needed for treatment decisions. The goal is also to enhance clinician's ability to identify opportunities to optimize insulin dosing and decrease end users' cognitive load and error rates.

The challenges of electronic health records and diabetes electronic prescribing: implications for safety net care for diverse populations.
This review highlights how the EHR electronic prescribing transformation has affected diabetes care for vulnerable patients and offers recommendations for improving patient safety through EHR electronic prescribing design, implementation, policy, and research. Specifically, it presents evidence for the adoption of RxNorm and standardized naming and picklist options for high alert medications such as insulin.

Sentinel modular program for propensity score-matched cohort analyses: application to glyburide, glipizide, and serious hypoglycemia.
Sentinel is a program sponsored by the US Food and Drug Administration to monitor the safety of medical products. This cohort assessment was conducted to evaluate the ability of the Sentinel Propensity Score Matching Tool to reproduce, in an expedited fashion, the known association between glyburide (vs. glipizide) and serious hypoglycemia. The study’s findings were consistent with the literature, and demonstrated the ability of the tool to reproduce this known association in an expedited.
