Summary:
Territory Kidney Care (TKC) is an innovative clinical information system used to assist with the early identification and best-practice management of kidney disease. It utilises a service-orientated architecture which automatically and securely transfers the clinical information of patients from existing health platforms, based on agreed criteria, to provide a complete patient picture. The technology applies algorithms to the collected patient data, which then stratifies patients according to risk and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage, enters patients into surveillance loops and initiates triggers to alert clinical teams of actions required.
In December 2021, the Northern Territory Department of Health (NT Health) and Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) agreed to implement the capability to upload synopsis reports from the TKC system to the My Health Record (MHR). The agreement between NT Health and ADHA, and subsequently between NT Health and Menzies School of Health Research (Menzies), contains a schedule of deliverables to be completed by September 2022.
