Glen Cove Hospital Is First in New York State to Earn Inpatient Diabetes Certification
Glen Cove Hospital is the first in the state of New York to receive a prestigious certification for Advanced Inpatient Diabetes Management by The Joint Commission, a national healthcare accreditation organization. This certification certifies that Glen Cove Hospital has met the standards of care specific to diabetes.
Hospitalized patients with diabetes or those with high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) who are not carefully managed will experience poorer outcomes, such as increased infections, slower wound healing and other complications. Therefore, Crouse Hospital brought together representatives of its departments of Nursing and Nutrition, both of which include certified diabetes educators (CDE), Medicine, Surgery, Pharmacy, Social Work, Laboratory, Quality Management, Administration and Information Technology. To reduce incidents of both high and low blood sugar levels, they focused on coordinating the care of patients in the critical care and medical-surgical units, and other areas throughout the hospital.
About 24 million people in the United States have diabetes and one in four is unaware. Estimates range as high as 57 million who have pre-diabetes and are at a high risk for developing the disease. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which blood glucose (sugar) levels are too high. The hormone insulin helps the glucose get into the body’s cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, the body does not make insulin. With more common, type 2 diabetes, the body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in the blood and can lead to serious health problems.
For more information, contact the hospital’s Diabetes/Heart Club Support Group at (516) 674-7936 or the American Diabetes Association at: www.diabetes.org or 1-800-DIABETES.
