Point-of-care (POC) bedside glucose (BG) testing and timely
evaluation of its effectiveness are important components of
hospital inpatient glycemic control programs. This article
describes a new technology to evaluate inpatient POC-BG testing
and report preliminary results of inpatient glycemic control
from 10 U.S. hospitals.
RALS®-TGCM
(Tight Glycemic Control Module) was connected to
RALS-Plus
to extract and analyze inpatient POC-BG tests from 10 U.S.
hospitals for a 3-month period. POC-BG measurements were
evaluated in aggregate from all 10 facilities for the intensive
care unit (ICU), non-ICU, and ICU/non-ICU combined.
