Abstract
Aim:
To determine whether the integration of an electronic clinical decision support tool (eCDSS) within electronic medical records could increase diagnosis and management of CKD in Australian PCPs.
Method:
A systematic literature review was conducted across three databases targeted toward studies that involved eCDSS use in PCPs with specific focus on diagnosis, documentation and management of CKD.
Results:
A total of 17 studies met inclusion criteria. Of these, 8 identified CKD diagnostic coding as primary or secondary outcome. 4 demonstrated statistically significant increase in coding following integration of eCDSS tool. Improvement in measurement of urinary albumin-creatinine ratio was demonstrated in 3 of 4 studies but improvement in guideline recommended management was only demonstrated in 3 of 16 studies.
Conclusion:
This review was inconclusive and further studies are required to investigate whether eCDSS tools can prompt improved identification and guideline recommenced management of CKD in PCPs
