Interventions
Active Electronic Medical Record Inpatient Diabetes Clinical Decision Support
This prospective intervention will be carried out over 36 months and encompass 12 alternating GlucAlert-CDS phases lasting 3 months each. Six active phases (ON period) and six inactive phases (OFF period) will represent 18 months of intervention and control respectively. GlucAlert-CDS recognizes gaps in care denoting the automatic process of subjects' identification and inclusion. During the ON period, gap in care events detected in patients' EMR will evoke alert messages and care recommendations for clinicians in real time for their consideration. These notifications are programmed to be delivered to primary inpatient providers in direct care of these hospitalized patients. During the OFF period, the program will record the gaps in care events detected, but alerts will be inactive for providers' viewing.
