The recognition workstream is being led by our partners at the Great Western Hospital, Swindon. The aim is to reduce the incidence of mortality from acute kidney injury by 3% by ensuring the implementation of the AKI care bundle within 24 hours of alert.
There has been a marked improvement – overall mortality among those with coded acute kidney injury has fallen from 18.4% in 2015/16 to 16.6% in 2016/17.
Work is underway to ensure that more care bundles are completed for AKI alerts.
