This proposal will incorporate statistical models developed by the investigators to predict
risk for acute kidney injury into our electronic medical record system, enabling an alert to
notify providers of the risk status. Pediatric inpatients will be randomly assigned to be in
the intervention group, for whom the notification will be implemented, or in the control
group, who will receive usual care (no notification). The investigators believe the
notification will increase appropriate screening for acute kidney injury and reduce the
severity of acute kidney injury in the intervention group.

This proposal will incorporate a logistic regression models developed by the investigators to
predict risk for acute kidney injury in pediatric intensive care unit and pediatric ward
patients into the electronic medical record system, enabling personalized decision support.
Real-time surveillance using the risk prediction models will identify pediatric inpatients at
increased risk for acute kidney injury. When patients exceed the threshold risk for acute
kidney injury, the electronic medical record system will notify providers. Patients will be
randomly assigned to be in the intervention group, for whom the notification will be
implemented, or in the control group, for whom the notification will not display. The risk
notification will be assessed for its impact on outcomes including rates of screening for
acute kidney injury and the severity of acute kidney injury.
