By implementing HGA1 and providing resources to unify care for asymptomatic infants at risk for hypoglycemia, short-term outcomes in our hospital system improved. By updating HGA2 to include the use of dextrose gel, the advantages gained by HGA1 were maintained and further enhanced. Overall cost of care was reduced.
