Advanced Glycaemic Management Certification
Advanced Glycaemic Management Certification confirms your inpatient program meets high clinical standards for glucose control. recognizing your commitment to safe, consistent, and evidence-based care for diabetes, hypoglycaemia, and hyperglycaemia.
Advanced Glycaemic Management Certification
The challenge for hospitals to manage glycaemic control
Glycaemic management is one of the most complex and high-risk aspects of inpatient care. Poor control of blood glucose, whether hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia, can lead to serious complications, prolonged recovery, and increased healthcare costs.
What’s at stake?
- Increased risk of infection, sepsis, and impaired wound healing.
- Higher ICU and hospital mortality rates.
- Longer hospital stays and readmissions.
- Greater resource utilization and financial strain.
With nearly 1 in 4 hospitalized patients affected by diabetes or hyperglycaemia, healthcare providers face increasing pressure to improve glycaemic control across all care settings, from intensive care to surgical and general medical units.
Despite these challenges, when hospitals implement standardized glycaemic protocols and integrate multidisciplinary care, outcomes improve dramatically.
Advanced Glycaemic Management Certification
DNV’s Advanced Glycaemic Management Certification (AGMC) is designed for organizations that want to take their inpatient diabetes care to the next level. This certification evaluates how effectively your organization manages glucose control across various departments, ensuring both clinical consistency and patient safety.
AGMC focuses on the implementation of evidence-based, integrated care that supports optimal glucose control for all patient types, including:
- Adults and paediatric populations.
- ICU and non-ICU settings.
- Perioperative and postoperative care.
- Patients with Type 1, Type 2, and stress-induced hyperglycaemia.
Our process across key areas:
- Annual survey by experienced, clinically trained DNV surveyors.
- Performance data review of outcomes and process metrics.
- Structured feedback to drive meaningful, ongoing improvement.
The certification survey assesses:
- Quality and risk management systems.
- Interdisciplinary communication and care coordination.
- Insulin therapy protocols and medication safety.
- Staff competency, training, and responsiveness.
- Patient education and self-management support.
