Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) costs the National Health Service (NHS) over £1 billion per year. Streams is a results viewing platform designed to tackle this through timely alerts and easy-access to important results.
By using Streams, specialists reviewed urgent cases within 15 minutes or less (a process that might otherwise have taken several hours) and fewer cases of AKI were missed (3.3% rather than 12.4%). The app also reduced the average cost of admission for a patient with AKI by 17%, demonstrating a huge potential cost saving for hospitals in the future.
