Despite decades of research and digital tools, inpatient diabetes outcomes haven't improved. Sliding scale insulin, EHR protocols and fragmented workflows persist — yet national data shows little progress in reducing complications, readmissions or length of stay.
Hospitals can't afford another decade of status-quo care.
This session will explore how historical missteps in glycemic management continue to affect care and outline the standardized, tech-enabled models that are driving measurable improvement today.
Key takeaways:
- Why EHR digitization and outdated insulin protocols have failed to move national diabetes metrics
- How standardized, FDA-cleared approaches improve safety, reduce variation and cut costs
- Lessons from hospitals reducing readmissions and length-of-stay through smarter glycemic workflows
