    Author: Gerard SO, Neary V, Apuzzo D, Giles ME, Krinsley J.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2006 Dec; 18(4):531-43. PubMed ID: 17118308.
    Abstract:
    Glycemic control has become a hallmark for this ICU. Collectively, staff and hospital leaders changed a culture of casual attitudes toward chaotic glycemic control to an evidence-based atmosphere of decreased mortality, which has received local and national recognition. Implementation of a protocol , which seemed radical at the time, showed significant patient outcomes. Characterized by teamwork and education, the process was developed, initiated and continually evaluated for improvement, with a cornerstone of patient safety. The rich database allows for continual analysis of outcomes.
