Multivendor Continuous Glucose Monitor Integration into the Electronic Health Record: Real-World Experience of an Academic Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic
Authors' conclusion
We present practical tips to optimize the integration experience: identify the problem, mobilize resources, negotiate contracts early, evaluate and optimize the workflow, celebrate early wins, prepare for (inevitable) stumbling blocks, keep asking questions, implement change management techniques, and evaluate integration acceptance, iterate, and monitor.
