AB  - Content  UpdateMay  15,  2018Impact  of  Electronic  Alerts  on  Detection  and  Course  of  Acute  Kidney  Injury:  A  single-center  Korean  quality  improvement  study  evaluated  the  effect  of  an  electronic  medical  record  (EMR)  acute  kidney  injury  (AKI)  alert  system  with  automated  recommendations  for  nephrologist  consultation  on  the  detection,  course,  and  outcome  of  AKI  events.  Compared  to  historical  controls,  patients  evaluated  when  the  alert  system  was  in  place  were  less  likely  to  receive  no  nephrology  consult,  and  consults  were  more  likely  to  occur  early.  Patients  were  also  more  likely  to  have  AKI  detected,  have  less  severe  AKI,  and  have  better  overall  recovery  at  30  days.  The  alert  system  had  no  effect  on  30-day  mortality.  Although  the  study  had  important  limitations,  an  EMR  alert  system  with  automated  recommendation  for  nephrology  consults  shows  promise  for  improved  detection  and  management  of  AKI.
