Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Initial proposal submission - April 2013 Approved - Jan 2014 Change of leadership March 2014 First CKD HIT meeting 14 th May 2014
CKD Workstreams • Prevention – Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) • Provision of care : - Service redesign - Telehealth, remote CKD monitoring, CKD e-consultation - Patient related outcomes and empowerment shared decision making, personalised care plans • Education • Research • Innovation
AKI Challenges • £500 million annual expenditure • 12-15 % of hospital admissions • ~ 60 % episodes are acquired in community • 20-30 % avoidable • NCEPOD AKI report- suboptimal care in hospitals • NHS England commissioned project to reduce and improve management of AKI
Aims • Risk assessment – identify patients at risk of AKI at admission • Early detection – e-alerts for AKI from blood tests • Education of patients and clinical teams – standardised intervention advice in hospitals and community • Medicines management eg: sick day rules for ACE i/ARBs; concurrent use of NSAIDs &ACEi and potassium sparing diuretics
Progress • Current position in NBT – Risk assessment tool in all medical admissions • Ongoing projects in NBT – Setting up e-alert of AKI ( summer 2015) – Standardised intervention advice for AKI in hospital (June 2014) – Include AKI details in discharge summary
Role of CKD – Influence other non renal trusts to adopt risk assessment and setting up e-alerts – Adoption of standardised intervention advice and referral pathway ( post AKI detection) in primary care and in other trusts – Medicines management in community to prevent AKI
Telephone Clinics • Ideal for selected CKD/transplant patients – Regional service – patient travels > 50 miles for 10 min consultation – Physical signs are few – Consultation directed mainly at symptoms, BP and GFR • Barriers – Tariff based payment by activity – IT barriers – Practical issues of getting blood tests and BP measurements at GP
Challenges for CKD • Projects proposed and driven by secondary care clinicians • Representation from all partner organisations • Would like to hear what commissioners, GPs , other partner organisations and patients want us to do. • Funds – ? invest to save
