Washington Hospital Medical Center
This example is brought to us by Michelle Magee, MD, from Washington Hospital Medical Center and the MedStar Health Institute. It incorporates many core components of the ideal SQ insulin order set, including specification of the DM diagnosis, A1C order, FSBG frequency, hypoglycemia treatment, and basal bolus plus correction-dose orders, and makes allowance for eating, NPO, tube feeds, and transition from IV to SQ insulin order. The first page is only used once. The second page is the core insulin-ordering page. The prescriber rips off the first page and uses only the second for subsequent orders.
