IKC (Integrated Kidney Care) Hospitalization Risk Rating
A new hospitalization risk badge has been added to the Patient Chart, Dialysis Schedule, Current and IKC Patients list. The 1-5 ratings are documented in CWOW and based on the Core Team’s analysis of whether or not the patient is at risk of hospitalization within the next 30 days.
The risk rating data definitions:
•Rating 4-5: The team is concerned or very concerned
•Rating 2-3: The team has some concern
•Rating 1: The team has no concern
IKC Hospitalization Alert
The Focus Patient Indicators banner appears in the Patient Status of the patient’s chart when the patient has an IKC Risk flag or has been hospitalized in the last thirty days. The banner contains the core team and recent hospitalization, if available. The core team record displays the risk rating and reason. The recent hospitalization data shows the reason for admission, length of stay, admission and discharge dates, and primary and secondary diagnosis.
