Chemoprophylaxis reduces the incidence of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE), the leading cause of preventable inpatient death. Single-institution studies suggest that missed doses of inpatient chemoprophylaxis are common and associated with developing VTE. 1, 2 One health system-wide study found that missed doses were common at both academic and community hospitals. 3 The concept of “defect-free” VTE prophylaxis has emerged, which includes prescription of optimal risk-appropriate prophylaxis and administration of every dose as prescribed. 4The Illinois Surgical Quality Improvement Collaborative (ISQIC) is a collaborative of 56 academic and community hospitals dedicated to improving the quality of surgical care in Illinois. ISQIC implemented a novel comprehensive postoperative inpatient VTE prophylaxis process measure to address shortcomings of existing quality measures such as the inability to accurately identify missed chemoprophylaxis doses. 4, 5 A previous analysis of ISQIC hospitals identified failure to provide defect-free postoperative inpatient VTE chemoprophylaxis in 18% of colectomies, with missed doses being a major contributor. 6
