Diabetes type II Management in the Acute Settings
Alternative Title
Abstract
The number of people with diabetes mellitus type II has recently increased in the U.S. Therefore, recent studies have placed interest in glycemic control rather than preventive measures. Current guidelines suggest optimization of basal, prandial, and correctional insulin in acute setting and discourage the usage of sliding scales algorithms, however, hospitals in the state of Hawaii are still practicing measures not found efficient for optimal quality of care. Nurse practitioners have the opportunity to play a role in transforming healthcare in becoming better accessible, excellent quality and value-driven environment for patients. The purpose of this paper is to present a plan aiming to change the current management of type II diabetics in non-ICU inpatients over at Straub Medical Center.
