RESUMEN
Managing data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems presents challenges to health care provider teams that rely on the electronic health record (EHR) during patient visits. A method of integrating CGM data with the EHR that relies on the Dexcom API was developed by Northwestern Medicine and Dexcom to address these challenges. Here, we describe the data management steps and user interface of the integrated system. Providers can access patients' historical and latest daily CGM data in the form of modal day plots and stacked columns showing time in various glucose concentration ranges. The integration facilitates the acquisition, storage, analysis, and display of CGM data within an EHR system and may be appropriate for deployment in other health care facilities.
