Improving prevention of blood clots in hospitalized patients
Disseminating a Patient Centered Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Bundle
This study is looking at ways to help hospitalized patients remember to take their blood clot prevention medications by using real-time support, so they can stay involved in their care and lower their chances of getting preventable blood clots.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the adherence to venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis among hospitalized patients. It utilizes a patient-centered approach, leveraging electronic health record data to deliver real-time interventions that empower patients to actively participate in their care. By addressing the common issue of medication nonadherence, the study aims to ensure that patients receive the preventive treatments they have been prescribed, ultimately reducing the risk of preventable blood clots during hospitalization.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are hospitalized patients who are at risk for venous thromboembolism and have been prescribed prophylactic medication.
Not a fit: Patients who are not hospitalized or those who do not require VTE prophylaxis may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce the incidence of preventable blood clots in hospitalized patients, improving overall patient safety and outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in improving medication adherence through patient-centered interventions, indicating a promising approach for this study.
