Venous thromboembolism (VTE) Prevention- Why should we care?

• Venous thromboembolism is common– 900,000 DVT/PE annually

• VTE is deadly– 10% of hospital deaths due to

PE– Only 1/3 suspected ante-

mortem• VTE causes long-term

morbidity– Recurrent VTE occurs in 40%

by 10 years– Post-thrombotic syndrome

affects 30% by 5 years• VTE is preventable

– Effective prophylaxis reduces DVT incidence by 60%

VTE Prevention- We are failing our patients!

• Worchester VTE study- 1897 patients with VTE from 12 hospitals

• Seventy-four percent were outpatients

• Sixty percent recently hospitalized

• Only 43% received DVT prophylaxis (Spencer FA et al. Arch Intern Med 2007)

• Prevention• Documentation of Venous Thromboembolism Risk Assessment/Prophylaxis within 24

Hours of Hospital Admission• Documentation of Venous Thromboembolism Risk Assessment/Prophylaxis within 24

Hours of Transfer to ICU• Treatment• Documentation of Inferior Vena Cava Filter Indication • Venous Thromboembolism Patients with Overlap of Parenteral and Warfarin

Anticoagulation Therapy • Venous Thromboembolism Patients Receiving Unfractionated Heparin with Platelet

Count Monitoring • Venous Thromboembolism Patients Receiving Unfractionated Heparin Management

Johns Hopkins VTE Prevention Collaborative – Version 1.0 Results• Evidence-based Paper VTE Prophylaxis Tool

– Success• Improved VTE Prophylaxis compliance from 25% to 50-100%• Decreased VTE incidence on some floors

– Shortcomings• Complex• Forms not always available• Labor intensive data collection• Out of usual work flow stream on CPOE units

Result = Sub-optimal VTE prevention

Solution = Electronic Risk Stratification/Order Entry

Conclusions

• We have developed a POE VTE prophylaxis order set that facilitates rapid VTE risk stratification and evidence-based VTE prophylaxis ordering

• Benefits of the order set include…– Increased VTE risk stratification – Increased risk-appropriate VTE prophylaxis– Enhanced VTE performance monitoring/reporting – Targeted provider education of VTE risk factors and

prophylaxis modalities – More effective strategy to improve VTE prevention

than electronic alerts

Future Plans

• Study the impact of the order set on VTE and bleeding event rates

• Study the impact of the order set on provider VTE management knowledge base
