The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Foundation has issued 10 clinical recommendations it believes can substantially reduce the incidence of in-hospital insulin-related adverse events (AEs) if implemented.
The strategies, which target errors during all stages of insulin use, ?have several strong advantages,? said Joshua Neumiller, PharmD, CDE, an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacotherapy at Washington State University?s College of Pharmacy in Spokane. ?One thing is that they [the recommendations] stress the need for standardized, evidence-based, protocol-driven order sets for insulin use and they also recommend transitioning from reactive to proactive glycemic management approaches,? commented Dr. Neumiller, who was not involved in developing the recommendations.
