Study Details

Brief summary:

A new algorithm derived from only patient age and components of the complete blood count and basic metabolic panel can identify patients discharged from the hospital who may benefit from a blood thinner (called rivaroxaban) to decrease their risk of blood clots, and for whom the risk of bleeding is minimal.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a pop-up alert, which will be seen by clinicians when a discharging patient has been identified as being someone for whom the risk of blood clots is high, but for whom bleeding risk is estimated to be low.

The pop-up alert will be enabled in a sequential fashion for each group of hospitals in 1 month blocks. We will look to see if the pop-up alert changes the number of patients who receive rivaroxaban. We will also measure the outcomes of blood clots and bleeding among all discharging patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: All

Age: 18 - 70+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Discharging clinician must be in one of the following iCentra electronic health record (Cerner, Kansas City, MO) positions:

  • Physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant hospitalist
  • Physician internal medicine
  • Physician family medicine
  • Patient age ≥ 18 years.
  • The encounter must be inpatient.
  • A signed hospital discharge order must be present.
  • eVTE target population criteria (increased venous thromboembolism risk, low bleeding risk) must be met

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant during encounter
  • Discharge order completed by ineligible clinician type
  • Exclude all cases where the patient is being actively prescribed and intended to be discharged on the following qualifying anticoagulant medications, regardless of dose form or dosing regimen (i.e., they have an active prescription for one of these medications):

  • Apixaban
  • Dabigatran
  • Dalteparin
  • Enoxaparin
  • Edoxaban
  • Betrixaban
  • Fondaparinux
  • Rivaroxaban
  • Warfarin
  • Creatinine clearance <30 milliliters/minute based on last-available eligible serum creatinine value preceding discharge

  • Estimated creatine clearance based on actual body weight (preferred) ((140 - age years) \* measured weight kilograms) / (72.0 \* serum creatine milligrams/deciliter) (\*0.85 if female)) = milliliters/minute
  • If measured body weight not available, then based on ideal body weight ((140 - age years) \* ideal body weight kilograms) / (72.0 \* serum creatine milligrams/deciliter) (\*0.85 if female)) = milliliters/minute

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: At-risk patients for which an alert is sent during the intervention phase

Patients found to be at an increased risk for VTE but a low risk for bleeding (based upon eVTE risk assessment), thereby meeting criteria for alerting during the intervention phase

active comparator: At-risk patients during the baseline phase

Patients found to be at an increased risk for VTE but a low risk for bleeding (based upon eVTE risk assessment), and who meet criteria for alerting, but for whom no alert is sent during the baseline phase

Interventions

EHR (electronic health record) alert

Pop-up alert that informs the discharging clinician that the patient meets criteria to be considered for extended duration thromboprophylaxis

No EHR (electronic health record) alert

During the baseline phase while risk is assessed and stored, no alerting occurs

Primary outcome measure

  • Primary outcome (implementation) [ Time Frame: From discharge to 7 days after discharge ]
  • Primary clinical efficacy outcome (effectiveness) [ Time Frame: From enrollment until 90 days after enrollment ]
  • Primary clinical safety outcome [ Time Frame: From enrollment until 30 days after enrollment ]
