Hi, we are a facility that uses our own interally developed eMAR in our inpatient units. We prompt users when to give meds, when to stop meds, when to change meds and so on. Now we are being asked to prompt users to adjust insulin rates based on glucose levels (the Portland Protocol). My question is this: Does anyone out there currently use a system where the end users (nurses) enter in a finger stick and then having the system tell them what the new rate is? Also, if you have a solution in place, does it also adjust how often the users are prompted to check the finger stick again and enter the information to adjust the rate? For example, if BBG is under 60 mg/dL check BBG every 30 minutes and if BBG is greater than 60 mg/dL then check every hour. This would then prompt the user based on the finger stick when the next one is due. Any help that you may be able to offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
