(P302) Best Practice for Insulin Injections

The need for education on proper injection technique and site rotation is needed as many patients have undetected scarring and lipohypertrophy on the abdomen.  This poster describes the interventions that were created to roll out educational opportunities to staff nurses and to provide the needed patient training materials to demonstrate  proper technique. Diabetes champions were identified in out-patient clinics to serve as liaisons between the CDCES and the nursing teams to inform and communicate best practices. This poster will outline the out-patient nurses pre and post data on their knowledge of proper injection rotation.  An unintended find was also determined and incorporated into the facility practice of pen needle prescribing.
