All inpatient encounters (including ED/Observation visits that end within 1 hour of the start of the inpatient encounter) for patients of all ages where at least one diabetes medication was ordered or administered during the encounter that is during the measurement period.

The primary objective of the NHSN Glycemic Control module is to measure and benchmark medication-related hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia events within a facility. NHSN uses line-level data on medications and blood glucose reported by facilities to provide analytic reports to inform quality-improvement efforts for glycemic control and track patient safety events. As NHSN collects additional data, an additional objective will be to allow inter-facility benchmarking and evaluate national-level trends of medication-related hypoglycemia over time.
