COMING SOON: Introduction of Updated Iron Status Log

Following consultation with the AMS Nutrition and Medical Working Groups, as well as a NIN pilot, the Iron Deficiency History Log has been reviewed and updated.

The purpose of this work is to:

• Improve workflow between the Blood Results form and this log
• Enhance communication of iron results, interventions, and management
• Support collaboration between Doctors and Dietitians

All development has been completed within the current technical constraints of the AMS platform (e.g., no direct integration with external pathology providers).

Blood Results

• Summary table displaying historical iron data
• Data is automatically pulled from the Blood Results form

Historical Management

• Summary table of previous entries including:
  • Interventions
  • Comments / plans
  • Repeat blood test dates
• Data is sourced from previous Iron Status Log entries

Iron Management Section

A dedicated space where:

• Doctors can document:
  • Recommended interventions
  • Management plan details
  • Timeline for repeat blood tests
• Dietitians can document:
  • Dietary interventions
  • Supplement plans
  • Compliance
  • Post-consultation comments

DATA ENTRY WORKFLOW

Step 1: Enter Blood Results

As AMS does not currently support direct pathology integration, blood data must be entered manually.

This can be done via:

1. The Blood Results form

   

    

2. The Iron Status Log (via the grey “Update Fields in Blood Results” tab)

    

3. The Link Records section in the Nutrition Record form

   

Step 2: Create a New Iron Status Entry

The Iron Status Log is designed to support ongoing holistic tracking, rather than “episodic” entries.

• A new entry should be created for each athlete consultation

• All historical blood results and management notes remain visible

   

Benefits of the New Approach

Centralising data (blood results, interventions, and consultation notes) enables improved reporting and analysis, including:

• Most commonly used interventions
• Timeframes between interventions and changes in blood results
• Contextual insights from practitioner comments (e.g. athlete responsiveness)

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

• The Iron Status Log will go live from Monday 6 July
• All historical data from the Iron Deficiency History Log will be migrated into the new form

Action Required

Doctors, Nurses, and Dietitians are encouraged to:

• Review the updated form
• Align on workflows for:
  • Entering blood results
  • Recording iron-related consultations

This will help maximise the benefit of the new system and ensure consistent data capture across teams.
