Description

Background: The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends intermediate-acting insulin NPH or longacting insulin glargine for steroid-induced hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). At Henry Ford Jackson Hospital (HFJH), methylprednisolone is associated with a high incidence of hyperglycemia. HFHS implemented a Steroid-Induced Hyperglycemia Best Practice Alert (BPA) to prompt insulin prescribing (NPH or glargine) in patients with recent hyperglycemia (BG >200 within 24 hours) and a new steroid order. Objective: Measure the frequency insulin is ordered from a Steroid-Induced Hyperglycemia BPA order set.
