DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious source of hospital morbidity and mortality. Chemoprophylaxis with heparin has been shown to reduce the occurrence of VTE, but it increases the risk of bleeding and it is uncomfortable to receive. For that reason, VTE prophylaxis should be reserved for patients at moderate to high risk of VTE and low risk of bleeding. However, identifying patients at low risk for VTE can be difficult, because most patients have at least one risk factor for VTE and there are no validated risk prediction tools for use in US hospitals. Instead, many hospitals have opted for a one-size-fits-all approach with near-universal prophylaxis, putting many patients at unnecessary risk of bleeding. However, to provide care that is truly patient-centered, US physicians face several challenges. First, there is no accepted risk calculator that they can use to estimate an individual patient's risk. Second, there is no validated risk calculator to estimate the risk of bleeding. Thid, the appropriate treatment thresholds for VTE or bleeding have not been identified (i.e. no one has defined what it means to be at low risk or at what level of risk the benefits of treatment outweigh the harms). Finally, risk calculators are not readily available at the point of care. As a result, prophylaxis rates have remained stubbornly low in some institutions, while in others the rate of prophylaxis is high, but the rate of inappropriate prophylaxis is also high. The aim of thi application is to use data from a large number of patients at the Cleveland Clinic to create tools that physicians can use to assess an individual patient's risk of both VTE and bleeding and to weigh those risks. An experienced team will develop and test these tools, and then incorporate them into a widely-used commercially available electronic health record in the form of a smart order set that will trigger an alert if the physician's order appears not to match the patient's rik. We will then assess the effects of the order set on physician behavior and patient outcomes using a randomized trial design. Examining the effectiveness of an electronic decision aid embedded in an EHR in routine clinical practice will test whether a smart order set can improve patient care by incorporating patient-specific factors into a complex decision process. This application builds upon our inter-disciplinary team's strong foundation of creating risk assessment tools and incorporating them into the EHR. Knowledge to be gained will inform best practices for VTE prophylaxis for millions of hospitalized medical patients each year and lead to other interventions for complex decision making involving patient-centered decisions.

描述（由申请人提供）：静脉血栓栓塞（VTE）是医院发病率和死亡率的严重来源。用肝素的化学预防症已被证明可以减少VTE的发生，但会增加出血的风险，并且接受不舒服。因此，应保留VTE预防的VTE患者，以VTE的中度至高风险和低出血风险。但是，确定VTE风险较低的患者可能很困难，因为大多数患者至少有一个VTE的风险因素，并且没有经过验证的风险预测工具可在美国医院使用。取而代之的是，许多医院选择采用近乎全世界预防的一种千篇一律的方法，使许多患者不必要出血。但是，为了提供真正以患者为中心的护理，美国医生面临着几个挑战。首先，没有公认的风险计算器可以用来估计个人 病人的风险。其次，没有经过验证的风险计算器来估计出血的风险。尚未确定适当的VTE或出血的阈值（即，没有人定义处于低风险或处于何种风险水平的治疗益处的含义超过危害的含义）。最后，在护理点不容易获得风险计算器。作为 结果，预防率在某些机构中仍然固执低，而在其他机构中，预防率很高，但不适当的预防率也很高。应用的目的是使用克利夫兰诊所的大量患者的数据来创建医生可以用来评估患者患VTE和出血风险的工具，并权衡这些风险。一个经验丰富的团队将开发和测试这些工具，然后以智能订单组的形式将它们合并到广泛使用的市售电子健康记录中，如果医生的订单似乎与患者的RIK不匹配，该智能订单集将触发警报。然后，我们将使用随机试验设计来评估设置对医师行为和患者结果的影响。检查嵌入在EHR中的电子决策辅助工具的有效性将测试智能订单集是否可以通过将患者特异性因素纳入复杂的决策过程来改善患者护理。该应用程序建立在我们跨学科团队创建风险评估工具并将其纳入EHR的强大基础上。要获得的知识将为每年数百万个住院的医疗患者提供最佳预防实践，并为涉及以患者为中心的决策的复杂决策做出其他干预措施。
