Abstract

Recent research indicates that inpatients with hyperglycemia suffer poor outcomes. Efforts to improve glycemic control need measures of performance. We proposed candidate measures, but these require analysis of large glucose datasets, a cumbersome task for individual institutions. We developed an application accessible over the internet that facilitates computation of these performance measures.
