patients' insulin levels improves patient care at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
This study will examine whether new processed and technologies for monitoring diabetic
patients' insulin levels improves patient care. Patients at Brigham and Women's Hospital
(BWH), staying on the General Medicine Service, who have Type 2 diabetes and who are not on
IV insulin can participate in this study. Physicians and nurses will be taught new rules to
care for diabetic patients, while in the hospital. Also, the BWH computer system will be
updated to include these new rules for administering insulin. Patients who participate in
the study will be randomly placed into one of two groups: one group that will be cared for
by physicians and nurses who have learned these new rules for administering insulin; or the
second group, who will receive diabetes care at BWH before the new rules were adopted. The
study will last approximately 1 year.
