Summary of changes made to alerting during the piloting of the alert system
| Change | Motivation |
| Excluded patients with ‘deceased’ status | Occasional alerting on patients who had recently died was ghoulish and unactionable |
| Modified language to make it clear that ‘agreeing’ with alert suppresses future alerts for themselves only | Providers are eager to find ways to suppress alerts once they have been alerted |
| Extended the ‘prior dialysis’ exclusion criterion to 1 year | Some chronic dialysis patients would initially lead to an alert |
| Excluded providers who cannot enter orders | AKI Order set is not useful for individuals (such as nurses, medical students) who are unauthorised to enter orders. |
AKI, acute kidney injury.
