Inconsistency in the timing of these tasks can increase the risk for hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. The UNC Department of Medicine\u2019s Value Care Action Group (VCAG) has been working with the Division of Endocrinology to improve glycemic control for hospitalized patients. New services recently introduced are ensuring the safety of patient care and decreasing the length of stay at UNC Medical Center.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur department and the hospital realized that we could do a better job of managing blood glucose in our patients,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/directory\/darren-dewalt-md\/\"><strong>Darren DeWalt<\/strong><\/a>, VCAG Medical Director. \u201cWe believed there were some patients who shouldn\u2019t have high glucose, that did, and some who experienced dangerously low glucose, that shouldn\u2019t. This is really a patient safety issue.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A variety of structural challenges are associated with diabetes care for hospital populations, including providers with varied expertise and inconsistent timing of meal and insulin delivery. Insulin should be delivered as close to meal delivery as possible and that requires careful coordination. A multidisciplinary task force has been working to solve this problem. This team includes nursing, physician, advanced practice providers and nutrition services and their first initiative \u201cGlucose Precautions\u201d has rolled out at UNC medical center. With this project in place, nursing and food services now work in concert to ensure insulin is administered at the proper time in relation to meal consumption.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40273\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 250px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2020\/02\/morgan-simonds-jones.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-40273 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2020\/02\/morgan-simonds-jones-240x300.jpeg\" alt=\"morgan-simonds-jones\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2020\/02\/morgan-simonds-jones-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2020\/02\/morgan-simonds-jones.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"discreet\">Morgan Simonds Jones, MD<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A team of advanced practice providers, led by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/directory\/morgan-s-jones\/\">Morgan Jones<\/a><\/strong>, MD, assistant professor in the division of endocrinology and metabolism, are also providing dedicated support for patients with diabetes at UNC Medical Center. With expertise in inpatient glucose management, this care team is able to co-manage patients with diabetes and provide important transitions from inpatient to outpatient diabetes care. This is achieved by not only providing important medication recommendations at the time of discharge, but also through a virtual care follow up clinic after discharge with the Diabetes Care Team.<\/p>\n<h4>New Safety Guards<\/h4>\n<p>Additional safety guards have been implemented in the environment. Signs are placed on patient doors that say \u201cGlucose Precautions\u201d which identifies people at risk of hyper or hypoglycemia. A table tent is delivered with each patient meal that says \u201cGlucose Precautions\u201d and recommends patients remind their nurse to bring insulin with their meal. Food services employees that deliver trays now send a message to the nurse of all patients with \u201cGlucose Precautions\u201d ensuring they are aware the patient is about to eat and they will need their insulin.<\/p>\n<p>Since the inception of the Diabetes Care Team in July, 2019, led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/directory\/april-goley-fnp\/\"><strong>April Goley<\/strong><\/a>, FNP-C, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/directory\/bonnie-alexander\/\"><strong>Bonnie Alexander<\/strong><\/a>, PA-C, glycemia improved at UNC Medical Center, as efforts continued through a transition to &#8220;virtual care&#8221; due to the COVID-19 pandemic, without detriment to patient care. In fact, Jones and the team published the results May 29, 2020, in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/doi\/10.1089\/dia.2020.0206?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&amp;rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&amp;rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200pubmed\">Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics<\/a> <\/strong>and have recognized endless possibilities for expansion throughout the UNC Health system.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cInitially, the team consisted of one nurse practitioner, <strong>April Goley<\/strong>, and it was through her hard work that we\u2019ve been able to show the value of dedicated resources,\u201d said <strong>Scott Keller<\/strong> who directs business development for the department. \u201cThis effort will provide much of the groundwork for a system-wide project focused on improved blood sugar control at all UNC Health sites.
