HOW RENALTRACK WORKS

A clearer process for screening and monitoring

Discover how an organised urine-test screening workflow can support accurate records, longitudinal monitoring and appropriate follow-up.

SCREEN. RECORD. REFER.
THE RENALTRACK APPROACH

From screening to a structured record

RenalTrack is being developed to help authorised screening personnel organise selected urine-test screening records and follow recorded information over time. It brings a digital record-keeping approach to a defined workflow while preserving the importance of professional judgement, appropriate testing and follow-up.

THE FOUR CORE STAGES

How the process works

Each stage contributes to a more organised screening process. The exact operational steps must follow the approved protocol and the features available in the deployed RenalTrack version.

01

Screen

An authorised screening worker prepares the encounter, explains the procedure and follows the approved urine-specimen collection and testing protocol.

  • Confirm the appropriate procedure.
  • Check the specified test-strip product.
  • Follow collection and testing instructions.
Start with the right process
02

Record

The screening worker documents the observations using the approved workflow and checks that the information is associated with the correct record.

  • Enter the required screening information.
  • Record the observed result accurately.
  • Check submission and record association.
Accuracy matters
03

Monitor

Where the relevant functionality is available, authorised users can review recorded information from different dates to understand the history of documented screening observations.

  • Review earlier records where available.
  • Check dates and relevant context.
  • Identify information that needs review.
Follow the record over time
04

Follow up

Screening findings are handled according to the approved pathway. A qualified healthcare professional determines what further assessment or care may be appropriate.

  • Follow the established escalation procedure.
  • Arrange appropriate professional assessment.
  • Do not treat screening as a diagnosis.

DESIGNED FOR SCREENING PERSONNEL

Who is RenalTrack for?

RenalTrack is intended primarily for pharmacists and community health workers involved in organised screening, subject to appropriate training, authorisation and programme requirements.

These professionals help carry out the approved procedure, document screening observations, protect participant information and guide people towards appropriate follow-up when needed.

Pharmacists

Support an organised screening workflow and appropriate guidance within their professional scope and the approved programme.

Community health workers

Help deliver authorised screening activities, maintain accurate records and communicate follow-up instructions within their role.

ACCURACY & QUALITY

Why test-strip verification matters

Different urine-test strips may use different parameters, reagent systems, reference charts and reading procedures. RenalTrack's result mapping must therefore be matched to the exact strip brand and model and the manufacturer's documentation approved for the screening workflow.

Until that information has been confirmed, no particular colour range, threshold or automated interpretation should be assumed to be supported. Screening personnel must follow the manufacturer's instructions and the approved protocol.

RESPONSIBLE USE

What makes the process dependable?

A digital platform is only one part of a responsible screening programme. People, procedures, data quality and professional oversight remain essential.

01

Trained personnel

Screening must be conducted by appropriately trained and authorised personnel following the relevant procedure.

02

Accurate documentation

Records should reflect the observations made, be associated with the correct encounter and be corrected through an approved process when needed.

03

Privacy and access

Personal information should be handled according to the applicable privacy requirements, with access limited to authorised purposes.

04

Professional follow-up

Findings that need further attention should be managed through an appropriate professional assessment and referral pathway.

WHAT IT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT
