Description Nursing professional development practitioners (NPDPs) at an academic hospital brought attention to insulin administration errors on the intensive care units, women's specialty units, and acute care floors. This project aims to decrease insulin administration errors at this academic hospital. The objectives include 1) identifying knowledge gaps and other barriers to safe insulin administration and 2) intervening based on identified gaps and barriers. Nursing leadership teams will help facilitate process changes and education as necessary. Over the following year, insulin administration errors will continue to be tracked. A comparison of frequency and type of errors will then be performed to evaluate the success of interventions.
