Optimizing Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis using Physician Order Entry: Johns Hopkins Hospital Experience Michael B. Streiff, MD Associate Professor of Medicine Division of Hematology Medical Director, Johns Hopkins Anticoagulation Management Service
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) Prophylaxis (%) Anderson Arch Intern Med 1991 Rahim et al. Thromb Res 2003. Tapson et al. Blood 2004, Rashid J Royal Soc Med 2005; Spencer et al. Arch Intern Med 2007; Tapson et al. Chest 2007; Cohen AT Lancet 2008
Joint Commission Standards for VTE Management • 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 by Nomogram/Protocol • Venous Thromboembolism Discharge Instructions • Outcome • Incidence of Potentially Preventable Hospital-Acquired Venous Thromboembolism

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
