Summary

This completed trial tested whether electronic alerts in the emergency room can improve care for people with type 2 diabetes. The alerts prompted doctors to order an A1c test when blood sugar was very high, and to consider admitting the patient for better diabetes management. Researchers compared outcomes before and after the alerts were introduced in 300 ER patients.

Active substance: Electronic health record prompts
What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could help ER doctors start diabetes treatment sooner and connect patients to follow-up care faster.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed study comparing outcomes before and after the alerts were introduced, so results may not apply to other hospitals or settings.
