Study Summary

This trialwill test if a tool can help improve diabetes control by giving healthcare providers reminders and calculators. #diabetes

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with diabetes or high blood sugar who are undergoing surgery at specific Vanderbilt University Medical Center locations. They must have had insulin within the last 12 hours without a recent glucose check, or no glucose measurement in the past 2 hours.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding a best practice advisory (BPA), which includes an insulin dosing calculator, to existing reminders helps healthcare providers better manage hyperglycemia during surgery compared to standard care.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves implementing a decision support tool rather than a drug, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, there may be risks related to potential inaccuracies in insulin dosing leading to hypo- or hyperglycemia.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: BPA InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The BPA intervention will test the delivery of the insulin calculator (BPA) which automates the standard insulin dosing protocol guidelines. When a patient meets the study criteria, the BPA will provide an automated notification through the electronic health record system. These automated notifications will pop up intraoperatively after the glucose check reminder in cases where the patient meets the study criteria. The provider is not forced to follow the recommendations of the insulin dosing calculator, rather it just serves as a reminder of best practices as defined by our department. The intervention will be assessed using a sequential and repeated cross-over design at the institutional level with periods of time for wash in, wash out, control and study intervention.
