Case Study
Atrium Health’s Use of EndoTool IV Leads to $12 Million in Savings
Setting: Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, New Orleans, LA
The Customer
Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist has successfully implemented EndoTool IV, a patient-specific insulin dosing system, to optimize the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), reducing hospital length of stay (LOS) and improving patient outcomes.
Challenges
Atrium Health aimed to:
- Reduce hospital LOS caused by poor glycemic control.
- Lower healthcare costs related to extended stays and hypoglycemia.
- Enhance operational efficiency in glycemic management.
Key Results
- Reduced Hospital LOS: EndoTool IV patients had a shorter average stay (3.95 days vs. 4.40 days), saving $12 million in total costs.
- Improved Patient Safety: Fewer hypoglycemic events in the EndoTool IV group (10 events of hypoglycemia vs. 350 in the standard infusion group).
- Operational Efficiency: Shorter stays allowed for better resource allocation and increased patient throughput.
Conclusion
The use of EndoTool IV has resulted in substantial cost savings, improved patient safety, and enhanced operational efficiency, solidifying its value in clinical practice.
