Improvement of Hyperglycemia/Diabetes in Patients to Improve Safety

January 7, 2025 updated by: Amisha Wallia, Northwestern University
The goal of this project is to bring together staff and clinicians from Northwestern University/Northwestern Medical Group/Northwestern Memorial Hospital as well as patients and caregivers to assess and redesign the identification and management of hyperglycemia and diabetes during and in transitions of care. There will be 3 different groups for the study: a group of providers [Group 1], a group of patients/caregivers and laypersons [Group 2], and a stakeholder group [Group 3]. Participants will be asked to provide input on potential interventions for a future clinical trial.

Laypersons will be identified by research staff as members of the community that can directly advance research and solution development in the field.

Stakeholder Group: Any and all stakeholders that are currently involved in the specific care delivery of diabetes.
