Description

• The implementation of IDS tool, which is integrated in the Epic, can assist providers in placing appropriate BBI insulin orders.
• Increased use of BBI use can result in reduction in hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia which can enhances overall patient safety and outcomes.
• Expanding or standardizing the intervention to other areas can help change prescriber practice and better glycemic control.
• Provider involvement and interest is an important factor in the utilization of the IDS tool.
