Designing and implementing a comprehensive quality assurance program for bedside glucose testing.

A program for bedside glucose testing has been successfully implemented and in operation at Sharp Memorial Hospital since October 1990. The nursing staff training and certification process focuses on gaining an understanding of the issues and skills needed to routinely perform the tests to laboratory quality standards. Routine quality control checks are performed to ensure the accuracy and precision of the glucose values obtained on patients, thus maintaining quality in the process. Instituting this comprehensive QA program for bedside glucose testing has enabled us to improve the accuracy of our measurements and increase the quality of our patient care.
