Abstract
Aim
The database will:
- Capture the entire Renal Service patient population.
- Tool to improve patient flow.
- Provide data for research and reporting.
- Support workflow and workforce planning.
- Improve staff transition across the different renal service models (Chronic Kidney Disease, Kidney Supportive Care, Haemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis, Home Haemodialysis and Transplant).
Methods:
Successful establishment of the database required but was not limited to:
• a clinical governance framework
• an evaluation of existing excel spreadsheets to identify the data collection criteria
• a Software-Purchase-and-Installation-Request (SPIR), and
• Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Results:
MHHS anticipates the development of a REDCap database will support accessible data capture and reporting for the entire service in the provision of best patient care.
Conclusion:
The MHHS Renal Service is keen to share the learnings and pragmatics of its database to support considerations of other Renal Service providers and potentially optimise similar data collection mechanisms.
