ediba® Diabetes Center of Excellence

FOR HOSPITALS

Our goal for hospitals:

Improve Quality.
Reduce Costs.
Increase Revenues.

Studies now show that up to 40% of hospital inpatients have diabetes. And since half of those who have the disease don’t know it, this information may not be identified at the time of admission.

High glucose levels affect the body’s ability to heal. The result? Increased complications, higher costs of care, and lost reimbursement because of missed coding.

The ediba® Diabetes Center of Excellence has a developed a Seven Step Program that is proven effective in helping hospitals identify patients with diabetes and hyperglycemia and manage their care effectively. Without exception, those hospitals who have implemented the full ediba Seven Step Program have received at least a 2:1 Return on Investment.

The American College of Endocrinology Consensus Statement:

“To minimize adverse outcomes, blood sugar should be controlled below 110 mg/dL in the ICU and to a similar level before meals outside the ICU. Maximum glucose levels should not exceed 180 mg/dL in non-critical care units.”

Systematic Improvement

“One of our quality initiatives revolved around systematically improving the care of our patients with diabetes. As a result of the program, we were able to improve care, reduce costs, and increase revenues -- and receive a 10:1 Return on Investment for our health system.”
