Benchmarking Inpatient Insulin ADEs

We are looking for a national benchmark for insulin harms on the inpatient population. Looking at severe hypoglycemia after administration of any insulin is a great metric put forward from the HIIN collaborative. However, with the quick changing patient mix toward the beginning of the year we quickly changed to harms/100,000 discharges which actually was a bit stable and conforms quite well to a control chart.

Either way, finding a benchmark of any type of metric would be desirable so we can continue to look at goal-setting.
