What this trial studies
This project aims to enhance the identification and management of hyperglycemia and diabetes by collaborating with healthcare providers, patients, caregivers, and stakeholders at Northwestern University. The study will involve three groups: healthcare providers, patients/caregivers, and stakeholders, who will provide insights and feedback on potential interventions for future clinical trials. Through interviews and discussions, the goal is to redesign care strategies during transitions of care for individuals with diabetes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients who have experienced hyperglycemia or diabetes at Northwestern Memorial Hospital within the last five years.
Not a fit: Patients who have not had diabetes or hyperglycemia will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this initiative could lead to improved safety and management of diabetes for patients during critical care transitions.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is collaborative and focuses on redesigning care, similar studies have shown promise in improving diabetes management through stakeholder engagement.
