  • Title: Improving technology: blood glucose testing.
    Author: Granneman SA, Cochran JE, Ross LP, Evans ML.
    Journal: Nurs Manage; 1994 Dec; 25(12):36-8. PubMed ID: 7800294.
    Abstract:
    Nurses frequently monitor blood glucose at the patient's bedside, allowing timely assessment and interventions. To meet the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Organization's requirements and guidelines from National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards and College of American Pathologists, quality control compliance must be maintained. After testing three blood glucose monitors, one institution selected a machine that eliminated handwritten documentation, ensured quality control testing, and improved ease of use.
