About the Seven Steps Program

For the past ten years, the ediba® Seven Steps Program has proven effective in enhancing hospital diabetes care while improving the health system's bottom line.

Studies show that up to 40% of hospital inpatients may have diabetes.  By identifying it early, and managing it effectively, hospitals can reduce complications, shorten lengths of stay and improve revenues through accurate coding and billing.

The ediba® team has now assisted 16 hospitals in achieving ADA Recognition, worked with 15 hospitals to implement all or portions of the Seven Step Program, and trained more than 6,000 healthcare professionals in effective diabetes management. Ediba® has worked with over 30 health care facilities around the country.

The Seven Steps Program was previously available only through intensive on-site involvement of the ediba® team.  But now you can attend a workshop to learn techniques to give you the ability to implement this program at your facility.

 

Good control of diabetes matters--does your facility measure up?
