title: A user-designed bedside glucose tool.
abstract: A real-time, bedside decision support tool that provides insulin therapy instructions for intensive care unit (ICU) patients was developed at Intermountain Healthcare's LDS Hospital. A team of clinicians, analysts and software engineers were tasked with developing the user interface to run the glucose protocol. Quick, iterative designs involving clinical end-users early in the development process resulted in a tool which was easy to use, facilitated the nursing workflow and was successfully implemented in the hospital's five adult ICUs.
