With CMS requiring reporting of severe hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, inpatient glycemic safety is moving from a clinical priority to a visible system-level performance measure. Hospitals are now being asked not only to manage glucose safely, but to demonstrate consistent, measurable results.
In many organizations, variation in workflows, documentation practices, and insulin management approaches can make it difficult to deliver uniform performance across complex inpatient environments. Under CMS scrutiny, these gaps become more apparent and more consequential.
In this session, healthcare leaders will explore where glycemic safety efforts commonly fall short and how organizations are strengthening reliability across teams, units, and clinical scenarios. The conversation will focus on practical strategies to support frontline clinicians, standardize execution, and align glycemic management with evolving CMS expectations.
Learnings include:
- How CMS reporting is changing the expectations for inpatient glycemic safety
- Where operational and workflow variability can undermine performance
- Strategies leaders are using to improve consistency without limiting clinical judgment
- What it means to measure, monitor, and sustain glycemic safety at scale
