The use of a clinical decision support system to assist nurses in treating hypoglycemia accurately may be useful in improving adherence to specific hypoglycemia management guidelines and compliance tracking.
Nurses need quick access to specific guidelines in a format that allows them to document in an accurate and efficient manner. The use of a CDSS can meet this need and also can provide a means for tracking documentation compliance easily. This study resulted in improved nursing compliance with hypoglycemia guideline documentation, although opportunity exists for continued improvement. The CDSS-based u-healthcare service achieved better glycemic control with less hypoglycemia
and routine care, and may provide effective and safe diabetes management
in elderly diabetic patients. The CDSS-based u-healthcare system generates
instant feedback on patients’ glucose levels by providing appropriate recommendations, including lifestyle changes and drug adjustments
