Although patients received instruction on insulin dosing and when and who to call for problems and questions, specific guidelines on how to manage insulin in the setting of changing glucocorticoid dosages were not communicated to patients. On the basis of our findings, we anticipate implementin...
We defined a CDS system as a system designed to directly aid in clinical decision making, in which characteristics of individual patients are matched to a knowledge base for the purpose of presenting patient-specific assessments or recommendations to clinicians [4]. Inclusion criteria were as follows...

Insulin dosing has to be adjusted in those with changes in renal function, concomitant steroid use, decreased oral intake, or utilization nonenteral nutrition. In addition, there is a discussion of the transition of inpatient insulin therapy to outpatient care. Medication reconciliation...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:The goal of this review is to summarize information about insulin dosing software and calculators used as computerized decision support systems or electronic glucose management systems (eGMS). These are used for hospitalized, insulin-treated patients with diabetes. We describe the ...
Weight-based insulin dosing estimates a patient’s anticipated insulin needs based on weight. However, factors beyond the patient’s weight might also affect those needs. For example, insulin needs of a patient may vary based on nutritional status, renal function, steroid use, the severity and ...
