“Glytec has demonstrated subject matter expertise in glycemic management, insulin therapy and workflow optimization. They’ve taken a highly collaborative and flexible approach, which we truly appreciate, and we’ve had great results. I can definitely say that Glytec’s system is helping us deliver proactive, personalized care, which is our top priority.”

“We collaborated with Glytec and immediately saw a significant improvement in glucose management. We are able to keep our patients within the defined parameters, they recover faster, have better outcomes, and fewer length of stay days. This is one of the best practices we have in our health system, and the evidence is there.”

“Providing clinicians with actionable data for patient-specific insulin dosing has demonstrated a faster time to normalization. This initiative effectively aligned functional IT capabilities with the practical needs of clinicians.”

“With nearly a third of hospitalized patients requiring insulin therapy during their stay, it is critical to focus significant attention on this very important aspect of care. As we continue to leverage best practices and innovation through our partnership with Glytec, we will increasingly improve care quality and outcomes, especially for the many patients with diabetes.”

Vice President of Clinical Reliability, AdventHealth
“A measure advance in the treatment of inpatient hyperglycemia has been the development of computer-guided algorithms for insulin dosing; also, alerts to help the nurses stay on top of glycemic indicators and blood glucose checks. We use the Glytec system with Glucommander™ to help facilitate hyperglycemic management and adjust insulin dosing according to the many changes that happen in the ICU, in a safe way.”

“Glycemic management has always been a major priority for our health system, and our results have historically been excellent versus the national averages, yet even with a strong program centered on standard protocols, we are always seeking to achieve higher standards of care. eGMS® is a purpose-built system that mitigates gaps in care and pairs best practices in glycemic management with leading EHR technology.”
Mikhail Kosiborod, MD, FACC, FAHA
Cardiologist and Clinical Scholar, Saint Luke’s Health System, Mid America Heart Institute
“Diabetes management in the hospital is not a set-it-and-forget-it strategy, it needs to be personalized. It is perhaps the ultimate in a patient-centered approach. Across the institutions where the eGlycemic Management System® has been implemented, decreases in rates of severe hypoglycemia are on the order of 40 to 95 percent. That’s substantial!”
