Woodridge Seeing Great Glycemic Results from Using Glucommander

As part of Mountain States’ Corporate Glycemic Initiative, they implemented Glucommander, a computerized insulin dosing software, to get a better handle on patient glucose levels.

The Mountain States psychiatric facility invariably has patients who need their blood sugar monitored, but people at Woodridge aren’t in the same clinically controlled environment as patients in most hospitals. They aren’t bed-bound with an IV in their arm, and nobody monitors exactly what, when and how much they eat. Thus, it’s harder to control their blood sugar levels.
