National Kidney Function Surveillance

From NHLS CDW to automated surveillance blueprint

Overview

Algorithmic blueprint to transition the NHLS Corporate Data Warehouse into an automated kidney function surveillance system.

Problem

National lab warehouses hold critical renal markers that are under-used for continuous surveillance.

Solution

Designing an algorithmic surveillance blueprint for automated extraction, anomaly awareness, and reporting layers.

Architecture

  • CDW extraction concepts
  • Rule-based + statistical anomaly detection
  • Dashboard-ready aggregates

Challenges

  • Governance, privacy, and operational constraints of national systems

Lessons learned

  • Clinical systems change needs technical design and institutional trust
