Active Inpatient Diabetes Clinical Decision Support
Inactive Inpatient Diabetes Clinical Decision Support
The Active arm consists of participants treated during the "ON" phase of the GlucAlert-CDS tool. The tool operates through an automated process of rules embedded in the EMR recognizing hypoglycemia (established or impending); recurrent hyperglycemia (in type 1 and 2 DM, or stress hyperglycemia-SH); and inappropriate insulin use (sliding scales monotherapy if recurrent hyperglycemia in type 2 DM or SH, or any time in type 1 DM). If the tool's criteria are met, an alert in the EMR will notify the provider with the clinically recommended treatment.
The Inactive arm consists of participants treated during the "OFF" phase of the GlucAlert-CDS Tool. Alerts will not be sent to provider's
