Abstract
There is a large burden of diabetes in Western Sydney, and this descriptor is also valid for the inpatient population. Optimizing diabetes care in hospital is important to prevent inpatient morbidity. A surveillance system was developed to address this need and a diabetes dashboard was developed around a data model built around the patient journey that integrated key data feeds from the pathology, medication, and patient administration systems. This facilitated the rapid identification and triaging of individuals with diabetes. We evaluated this dashboard using high level clinical and financial indicators. This implementation resulted in an improved time to patient review, and a reduction in 28-day readmission rates but the inpatient length of hospital stay was unchanged.
