Abstract
Study on if Clinical decision support helps prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Introduction
Study was done at a University Hospital. The study consistent of
- Admission Patients
- Transfer Patients
Methods/Results
At 6 hours after admission or transfer, the clinical decision support(CDS) algorithm checked for prophylaxis orders within 0–30 h of the patient’s arrival, increasing the specificity of the displayed reminders
Also, added automated VTE reminders
- Results
- Increase VTE awareness for patients admitted and being transferred
- Increase VTE prophylaxis
- Postponing prophylaxis checks to 6 h after admissions and transfers reduced the number of reminders by 62% and thereby minimized the
risk of alert fatigue.
