A Nurse’s Introduction to Glytec’s eGMS

Results from real hospitals using Glytec’s eGMS

62.6% reduction in preventable hypoglycemia-related adverse drug events.⁶

10 hours reduction in average time to target blood glucose.³

Time savings up to 72 minutes per nurse per patient receiving IV insulin.⁴

99.8% reduction in frequency of severe hypoglycemia.⁵

 

Glytec’s comprehensive eGlycemic Management System supports safe and effective glycemic management throughout the continuum of care. Here’s how it works:

Glucommander: Our algorithm-driven insulin dosing decision support software sits at the core of eGMS. Glucommander is FDA-cleared and approved for use in IV, SubQ and outpatient settings for both adult and pediatric patients.

SmartClick: eGMS integrates directly with the EMR to support one-click access, reduce redundant data entry, reduce transcription errors and improve workflow efficiency for providers.

GlucoMetrics: eGMS provides insights into organizational glycemic management performance by tracking KPIs like incidence of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, time to target, patient utilization and more.

GlucoView: Providers can use eGMS to view a dashboard of glycemic status indicators for all patients in a unit, helping nurses track last BG test results and current infusion rates and see precisely when the next check is due.

GlucoSurveillance: eGMS interfaces with laboratory information systems to continuously analyze patient blood glucose values of patients not using Glucommander and alert staff about at-risk patients.

GlyCloud: eGMS is hosted in the cloud, which means it can be installed, configured and updated remotely. Your data is secured at a HIPAA-compliant data center.

 

Our common goal: improving care for patients requiring insulin.

As the pioneer in data-driven glycemic management software, Glytec’s mission is to improve the lives of patients managing glycemic issues, and those who administer their care, by optimizing insulin therapy. We’ve been singularly focused on this goal since our founding in 2006.

That means creating technology that prioritizes patient safety and guides providers through best practice workflows. We are committed to making our software as intuitive and easy to use as possible, and provide full training and support for nurses to guide practice change not just at implementation, but in a continued partnership that continues to evolve throughout our relationship.

Let’s get started: we can provide guidance for winning buy-in, evidence for your presentations and support with the purchase and post-purchase processes.
