378-P: Real-Time Inpatient Hypoglycemia Intervention Reduces the Rate of Recurrent Severe Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemic events are a common inpatient safety issue; over half are preventable. There are no studies of real-time detection/response to prevent recurrence of hypoglycemia. We evaluated the effectiveness of real-time electronic hypoglycemia surveillance program (REHSP) to reduce the rate of recurrent severe hypoglycemic events (RHE) in hospitalized patients. REHSP is driven by a multidisciplinary team of endocrinologists and nurse practitioners who review an electronic database of all inpatient hypoglycemia events in the last 24hrs. Recommendations to reduce RHE are given to primary teams and appropriate response is monitored. We compared recurrence rates of severe hypoglycemia (BG
