Quality Improvement Outcomes

Results from Alberta early adopter sites:

• Knowledge translation to optimize adult inpatient glycemic management with basal bolus insulin therapy and improve patient outcomes
   
• Qualitative evaluation of the barriers and facilitators influencing the use of an electronic basal bolus insulin therapy protocol to improve the care of adult inpatients with diabetes
   
• Implementation of a multidisciplinary educational strategy promoting basal-bolus insulin therapy improves glycemic control and reduces length of stay for inpatients with diabetes
