An approach to development and refinement of automated AKI detection systems. The scheme illustrates the potential to refine AKI alerts based on the current KDIGO criteria through the incorporation of additional data elements. Alerts based on serum creatinine are currently feasible in many EMRs / CISs; however, electronic data enhancements may improve the performance (sensitivity and specificity) of electronic alerts for AKI in the future.
