What is venous thromboembolism (VTE)?

It is the third leading vascular diagnosis after heart attack and stroke, affecting between 300,000 to 600,000 Americans each year. There are two types: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) Deep vein thrombosis is a clot in a deep vein,…
Who is at risk of having a variable VTE?
VTE can affect men and women of all ages, races and ethnicities. People at the highest risk, like those with cancer, having surgery, or with major trauma like fractures or immobilization, should ask about getting prevention treatments. Hospitalization for any reason increases the risk, so people in the hospital should ask about prevention.
How effective are hospitals at preventing VTE?
One multinational study, for example, found that 58.5 percent of surgical patients and 39.5 percent of medical patients received appropriate VTE prophylaxis. Nearly a decade ago, The Johns Hopkins Hospital’s performance on VTE prevention measures mirrored that of other hospitals.
How many patient types does VTE collaborative support?
As an initial intervention, the hospital’s VTE Collaborative developed order sets that were tailored to 16 different patient types, such as trauma, surgery and medicine. For each order set, algorithms help physicians to assign patients to different risk categories.
