Improving the completeness of acute kidney injury follow-up information in hospital electronic discharge letters

By the end of the study, omissions relating to AKI information were reduced from 78% to less than 10%, indicating our QIP was highly effective-meeting the quality standard. The single most important factor in improving documentation was to mandate user review of AKI aftercare in patients with electronic AKI alerts. Our study encompassed hospital-wide inpatients, and our results could be replicated at other acute hospitals that have implemented an EDL system connected to an AKI alert system.
