Brief Summary

Retrospective cross-sectional study measuring the impact of a computer=based insulin correction protocol and nursing inservicing on diabetes outcomes

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a retrospective cross-sectional study at one institution, where the investigators compared diabetic patients admitted to Medicine Services from March-April 2006 (before CPOE was implemented) to patients admitted from October-November 2007 (one year after CPOE implementation). Capillary blood glucose values, Hemoglobin AIC, diabetes medication profile and demographic data were obtained to compare between groups. The investigators hypothesized that a computer-based protocol that emphasizes basal-bolus and correctional insulin orders and excludes sliding scale, in conjunction with nursing personnel inservicing, improves outcomes.
