ediba® Diabetes Center of Excellence

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 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.

Diabetes Epidemic

“Dramatic new evidence signals the unfolding of a diabetes epidemic. With obesity on the rise, we can expect the sharp increase in diabetes rates to continue. Unless these dangerous trends are halted, the impact on our nation’s health and medical care costs will be overwhelming.”

The 2004 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.”
