Impact of integrated clinical decision support systems in the management of pediatric acute kidney injury: a pilot study.

CONCLUSIONS: AKI remains under-recognized. CDS (electronic alerts and SCP) improve recognition and allow early intervention. This may improve long-term outcomes, but larger studies are needed.
IMPACT: Acute kidney injury can cause significant morbidity and mortality. It is under-recognized in children.Clinical decision support can be used to leverage existing data in the electronic health record to improve AKI recognition.This study demonstrates the use of a novel, electronic health record-linked, clinical decision support tool to improve the recognition of AKI and guideline-adherent clinical care.
