The Challenge: Manual Bottlenecks & Disconnected Data
Managing a high volume of patients using hundreds of different diabetes devices created significant operational challenges for Michigan Medicine, including:
- 25-Minute Rooming Process: Hunting for device cords and logging into disparate platforms.
- Heavy Administrative Burden: Manually typing data from printed device reports into patient charts.
- High Risk & Costs: Increased risk of human error with manual data entry and massive paper waste (up to 100 pages per patient).
The Solution: Seamless Epic® Integration via Glooko
Michigan Medicine deployed Glooko’s device-agnostic platform directly inside their Epic® system, creating a unified, automated digital workflow with:
- One-Click Access: Direct access from the patient chart via Single Sign-On (SSO).
- Automated Data Flow: Instant delivery of PDF reports and flowsheet statistics upon device upload.
- Universal Compatibility: One secure platform supporting over 200 diabetes device brands.
Inside the Case Study:
- Proven Results: Measurable ROI of improved efficiency, including $30K in direct cost savings annually and 91 full work days of clinical time reclaimed.
- Blueprint: How they mapped low-effort, high-impact EHR enhancements.
- Sustainability: Using “Centers of Truth” clinic hubs to onboard staff and mitigate turnover.
- Scale: Moving from reactive data chasing to proactive, data-driven diabetes care.
