Study by Riverside Medical Center Shows Reductions in Length of Stay and Hypoglycemia with Glytec’s Insulin Optimization Solution
Presented at the 18th Annual Diabetes Technology Meeting, the study found that patients treated using Glytec’s solution had 73.2% less hypoglycemia and no bounce backs once transferred from a CCU to a general ward.
With a shifting reimbursement landscape and acuity on the rise for hospitalized patients, the need to minimize length of stay and increase throughput in critical care units is a priority for health systems nationwide. A study conducted by Riverside Medical Center of Kankakee, Illinois, the flagship facility of Riverside Healthcare and the area’s only Magnet® recognized institution, found that by using Glytec’s eGlycemic Management System® (eGMS®), patients admitted to critical care units were transferred to general wards .25 days sooner and there were no “bounce backs,” or returns from general wards to critical care units. The study, presented at the 18th Annual Diabetes Technology Meeting, also found that severe hypoglycemia among patients in critical care units was 73.2% lower when using eGMS®.
