       ThinkGlucose enables acute hospital trusts to develop a campaign
       to improve the optimal pathway for people admitted to hospital
       with a secondary diagnosis of diabetes. The ThinkGlucose tool
       kit and the ThinkGlucose resource box provide an approach to
       develop local solutions, and practice to improve the clinical
       pathway for patients who come into hospital for a reason other
       than their diabetes.
       The toolkit consists of:
       •
       •
       •
       do for you?
       •
       organisation?
       •
       •
       transformation – the next level
       •
       •
       accurate coding of diabetes
       •
       •
       safer care
       •
       •
       The resource box contains promotional items designed to raise
       awareness and support the ThinkGlucose campaign.
       The ThinkGlucose Programme Planning Tool
       The ThinkGlucose Programme Planning Tool is an additional
       resource that has been developed by programme managers and
       implementation leads to help them with their planning and
       implementation of ThinkGlucose. It describes a step-by-step
       process of programme and change management. It could be used at
       any point in implementing ThinkGlucose.
       This tool contains interlinked pages that lead to other
       resources to aid the campaign:
       Programme overview – provides an overview of the key
       events and milestones along with the prerequisites for getting
       started.
       Programme tasks – considers the key actions required for
       each section of the programme together with helpful tips and
       links to useful resources.
       Programme timeline – provides a sample timeline that can
       be edited according to individual organisation needs.
       The ThinkGlucose Programme Planning Tool is available on
       request; please contact the QIPP team
       [email]qipp@nice.org.uk[/email] for further details.
       The ThinkGlucose tools can be adapted to meet local practices
       and protocols if required. Patients and staff have reported that
       this flexibility has been very useful in helping them to engage
       key stakeholders in the implementation of ThinkGlucose.
       The Dudley Group of Hospitals identified the following
       objectives:
       •
       educate staff
       •
       up plan to
       •
       errors and improve patient care through updated guidelines.
       They achieved this through:
       
       •
       hospital
       •
       team
       •
       doctors including night-time teaching
       •
       consultant sessions
       •
       •
       accordance with national guidelines.
