EHR for nephrology practices

A nephrology note with CKD staging, volume status, dialysis and transplant history, and kidney protection therapy in one place, and a check-in written for kidney patients.

A note template built for nephrology

The Nephrology E&M template organizes the visit the way nephrologists think about it.

CKD staging and kidney labs

  • Kidney function and CKD stage
  • Electrolytes and acid-base
  • Anemia of CKD
  • CKD mineral and bone disorder
  • Urinalysis, sediment and kidney imaging

Volume, access and dialysis

  • Overall volume status and uremic signs
  • Dialysis access exam
  • PD catheter exit site
  • Dialysis status and transplant history
  • Kidney replacement therapy preparation

Kidney protection

  • Blood pressure management
  • RAAS blockade and SGLT2 inhibitor therapy
  • Nonsteroidal MRA and statin therapy
  • Metabolic acidosis treatment
  • Hepatitis B vaccination status

Every section can be adjusted to how your practice documents.

A check-in that asks the right questions

Before the visit, patients choose what brings them in from 34 nephrology reasons, so the reason for the visit is in the chart before you walk in. Among them:

Chronic kidney disease follow-upAbnormal kidney function testProtein in the urineHigh blood pressure that is hard to controlKidney stonesHigh potassiumPolycystic kidney diseaseGlomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndromePreparing for dialysisHemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis follow-upDialysis access problemKidney transplant follow-upMedicine review for kidney safetyDiet advice for kidney disease

The check-in also covers demographics, history, social history and a specialty review of systems.

Consents and forms included

Nephrology documents patients can read and sign electronically, as part of check-in or on their own.

  • Nephrology patient check-in
  • Kidney biopsy consent
  • Kidney replacement therapy options acknowledgment
  • Vein preservation acknowledgment
  • Infusion and injectable therapy consent (IV iron / ESA)
  • Home monitoring device loan agreement (ABPM)
  • Remote patient monitoring consent

Every form can be edited to match your practice’s policies.

Between visits

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) and chronic care management (CCM) care plans run in the same system as the chart and the claim.

NovoScribe, the optional AI scribe, drafts the visit note while you talk, for you to review and sign. AI is billed by usage.
