Abstract
The journal was a study to show if Clinical decision support helps prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE). <reference name = "Beeker">http://jamia.oxfordjournals.org/content/21/e2/e297.short</ref>
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.
Conclusion
The study did improve VTE awareness in Admission and transfers.
The study improved:
- Patient hand-off
- Quality of Care
