Introduction.

Permissiveness to hyperglycemia is harmful to admitted patients. DIAGETHER is an application that helps the doctor in the treatment of the diabetic patient.

Objectives.

Determine degree of usability, level of confidence and overall assessment of DIAGETHER used by physicians resident in different clinical settings.

Method.

Multicenter descriptive study, based on a DIAGETHER assessment survey, of 42 residents of two hospitals, assessing decision-making regarding the therapeutics of patients with glycemic disorders in different clinical settings.

Results.

DIAGETHER was positively assessed regarding usability, confidence in case resolution, and time spent. The overall assessment of the tool was 87.5. On the negative side, it is necessary to conduct real-field studies to know the real adaptation of the tool to medical work.

Conclusions.

The DIAGETHER® application is an easy-to-use, quick decision-making tool and gives the doctor safety in the treatment of patients with hyperglycemia, which makes their overall assessment high. On the negative side, the study was conducted under “non-real” conditions, it would be interesting to develop future studies in several emergency departments.
