Even just two hours of hyperglycemia can result and impaired white blood cell function for weeks, causing greater infection rate, impaired wound health, increased length of stay, higher operative morbidities, and higher hospital mortality. In surgical patients, one preoperative glucose > 220 mg/dL can result in 5.8 times greater chance of experiencing a nosocomial infection.
Glytec has developed the G+ Enterprise Edition, which provides real-time insulin dosing recommendations while taking into account all pertinent patient information: demographics, health and laboratory results. It considers physiological pathways that include risk factors and relevant interventions with improved outcomes as a target. Individual care guidelines result in improved patient outcomes and more efficient use of healthcare resources. The system also provides a reporting platform and system that measures compliance requirements for patients and providers.
Please join us on June 7th for a special luncheon presentation at The Yale Club in New York City and meet Trefor Thomas, CEO & President of Glytec. Trefor will discuss how this innovative technology has the potential to not only save lives, but dramatically reduce costs for both the patient and the heath care providers. In addition, you'll learn how this approach can easily be replicated and used to manage other diseases.
This event is hosted by The Global Leaders and sponsored by M.M. Dillon & Companywww. and seating is extremely limited.
