Improving Scip-4 Glucose Measures, Melissa Fradette
Nursing Posters
A performance improvement project was initiated to increase the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) glucose measure compliance. Order sets were modified to standardize glucose monitoring frequency and initiate insulin infusions.

The plan: implement order set changes; eliminate manual documentation; and rely on interfaced measures to make clinical decisions.
