Insulin Safety

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out to learn how other institutions approach insulin safety. Specifically,
1. Do you have a dedicated insulin safety committee or working group?

2. If so, what disciplines are represented?

3. How often does the group meet and what are its main areas of focus?

4. Does the group report up to a broader safety or medication management committee, or does it function independently?

5. What have been the most impactful initiatives or interventions to improve insulin safety at your institution?

6. Have you found specific tools, data sources, or metrics most useful in guiding your work?

7. Any lessons learned or pitfalls to avoid when forming or sustaining such a group?

I'd greatly appreciate hearing about your structures and experiences.

Thank you in advance for sharing!
