Hospital Leaders Explore the Future of Insulin Management at Glytec's Conference on Glycemic Innovation and CollaborationGlytec, the only provider of cloud-based insulin management software across the continuum of care, today announced details about its annual conference on glycemic management and collaboration, "Time To Target: The Future of Glycemic Management." Attendees of this event will explore the latest trends in developing best-in-class glycemic management programs. There is no cost to attend the conference, which will be held virtually on October 25-26, 2022. "After an incredible inaugural event last year, we're thrilled to bring our industry together again at Time to Target to highlight some amazing work being done at our partner sites to improve insulin management amid a groundswell of change," said Glytec's Chief Commercial Officer, John Downey. The focus on glycemic management has reached a tipping point in health systems across the country. With its new glycemic eCQM metrics, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is making it clear hospitals have a responsibility to improve the management of hyper- and hypoglycemia in hopes of making severe hypoglycemia related to insulin a never event. Moreover, the FDA continues to grant breakthrough designations of CGMs for in-hospital use, and the Endocrine Society recently released new guidelines that offer recommendations for hospitalized patients with diabetes. These milestone initiatives prove what decades of research have shown: uncontrolled blood glucose in the hospital can negatively impact patient outcomes. Outdated processes and improper insulin dosing can have a wide range of negative impacts, including increased morbidity, mortality and complications that lead to longer lengths of stay, higher readmission rates and increased costs for patients and healthcare systems. Glytec's annual event aims to mitigate these challenges, educate health systems and improve the quality of care for patients nationwide. "Insulin management is getting the spotlight it deserves with the new CMS measures being announced this past year and as our industry prepares for next-generation diabetes technology entering the inpatient setting. Health systems still suffer from clinical inertia and are slow to make practice change and our event aims to change that mentality and provide the groundwork for an effective glycemic management program," added John Downey. Time to Target sessions will include a mix of informative keynotes, panel discussions, data-driven case studies and innovative product showcases. Featured speakers include:
Final agenda and speakers to be announced at a later date. All sessions will be available on-demand through November 30, 2022. To learn more about the event and how to register, visit https://www.glytectimetotarget.com.
