Adults with diabetes account for over 30% of non-critically ill hospitalized patients. These patients are at risk for complications, longer lengths of stay, medical errors, injuries, and infections. The Leapfrog Group and the American Diabetes Association partnered to offer program recognition to hospitals that deliver evidence-based diabetes care by achieving select standards. This session outlines how our hospital validated the standards, completed the chart audits required, and implemented two new projects to improve processes and deliver safe, effective care.
