Intraoperative blood glucose management : a quality improvement project

Perioperative hyperglycemia is associated with a myriad of post-surgical complications including an increased incidence of surgical site infections and prolonged hospital stays. The use of an evidence-based perioperative blood glucose management protocol reduces morbidity and mortality in adult patients undergoing surgical procedures. The project team describes a cost-effective quality improvement initiative aimed at improving protocol adherence by integrating an easy-to-use protocol algorithm, order sets, and practice reminders into an existing electronic health record system.
