Assuming a data-driven approach to identifying problems and solutions, diabetes care teams are dramatically altering practice to ensure the safety of patient care while also reducing length of stay.<\/p>\n<h3>Insulin Order Set<\/h3>\n<p>To date, a variety of tools and educational resources have been developed to improve patient care. These include the Diabetes Care Team, Glucose Precautions and new LMS modules for nurses. Already, these projects have contributed to the successful reduction of hyperglycemia, and variability in hospitalized patients. UNC Health\u2019s Care Redesign, which works in many areas to create clinical care pathways that improve patient outcomes and make it easier for providers to deliver the desired care, applauded the team\u2019s efforts. They are bringing diabetes improvement system wide starting with an insulin order set.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis has been a great team effort and has enabled all of us to better serve patients with diabetes,\u201d said Jones. \u201cIt was because of our original VCAG support and improvement in at UNCMC that we are now able to move this work to the system level.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, Jones and the team at UNC Medical Center is collaborating with UNC Rex through Care Redesign to complete this order set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019d like for providers to be aware of the insulin order set, and to know that Care Redesign may reach out to ask for a provider evaluation. This will help us know what improvements might be needed for a successful system roll out.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56776\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 396px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/10\/APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-56776\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/10\/APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG\" width=\"386\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/10\/APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/10\/APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/10\/APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/10\/APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/10\/APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/10\/APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG-301x201.jpg 301w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/10\/APPs-Diabetes-Management-Team-VCAG.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Veronica Hudson, PA, Bonnie Alexander, PA, April Goley, FNP, and Avni Garg, PA, support inpatient services.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Risk Stratification Tool and Diabetes Dashboard<\/h3>\n<p>The insulin order set is only a piece of the proposed diabetes improvement. Jones\u2019 current VCAG efforts are focusing on decreasing hypoglycemia after success with reducing hyperglycemia. Care Redesign remains active in this project as well. Currently, a computer model which is evidenced-based is being developed to predict hypoglycemia. This tool is expected to be a benefit for high risk patients for hypoglycemia and reduce overall hypoglycemia. Meanwhile, the recently developed Diabetes Dashboard designed to filter diabetes data across services and across hospitals will help providers monitor individual services and track patient progress.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is really a tool that is helping us strive for the highest levels of patient care. We think of the Diabetes Dashboard as a kind of accountability tool, that holds us accountable in our care for patients.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Original Inpatient Consultative Service Now Serving More Hospital Specialties<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, the Diabetes Care Team has expanded to co-manage eight services.
