1 Venous thromboembolism reduction initiative: A multifaceted collaborative effort to protect Intermountain Healthcare patients from hospitalassociated venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) 14 th Annual Research Summit April 6, 2017 Scott C. Woller, MD Co-Director Thrombosis Program Intermountain Medical Center Professor of Medicine University of Utah School of Medicine

2 Disclosures Investigator initiated grant recipient: Bristol-Myers-Squibb (paid to Intermountain Healthcare) Grant support from Twine Clinical LLC (paid to Intermountain Healthcare) Grant support from the Intermountain Research and Medical Foundation Panelist American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) Clinical Practice Guideline: Antithrombotic therapy for venous thromboembolic disease (AT10)

3 Objectives The importance of thromboprophylaxis among hospitalized medical patients Outcomes of VTE reduction initiative (VRI) Discussion

4 Risk of Thrombosis Hospitalization for acute medical illness increases the risk of VTE 8-fold 1 2/3 of VTE events are attributable to hospitalization % of fatal PE occur in nonsurgical patients 2 Chemoprophylaxis decreases VTE among patients at risk 3 Risk factors for VTE are well described 1. Heit JA Arch Int Med 2000; Goldhaber SZ CHEST 2000; 118(6) 3. Kahn et al. CHEST 2012; 141(2)(Suppl):e195S e226s

5 Thromboprophylaxis recommendations 2.3. For acutely ill hospitalized medical patients at increased risk of thrombosis, we recommend anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis with LMWH, LDUH B.I.D., LDUH T.I.D., or fondaparinux (1B) 2.4. For acutely ill hospitalized medical patients at low risk of thrombosis, we recommend against the use of pharmacologic prophylaxis or mechanical prophylaxis (1B)

8 Venous thromboembolism Reduction initiative OBJECTIVES Primary objective: Report the rate of appropriate chemoprophylaxis among hospitalized medical patients at high risk for VTE before and after the implementation of a multifaceted intervention including: (a) targeted electronic alerts for high-risk patients (b) comparative practitioner metrics (c) practitioner-specific continuing medical education

9 Venous thromboembolism Reduction initiative OBJECTIVES Secondary objectives: VTE Major bleeding Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) Alert fatigue Physician satisfaction

10 Venous thromboembolism Reduction initiative All hospitalists provided signed informed consent Participation in the VRI and completion of all educational modules served as part of the 2011 hospitalist group incentive initiative Hospitalist perceptions of the VRI were assessed in a standardized format at the time of initiation and at the end of the intervention year IRB approval was granted by Intermountain Healthcare

11 Physician interface with personalized VTE RAM Every morning at 0905 hours (rounding) a just in time text page was sent the hospitalist pager or cell phone if the patient met HA-VTE Risk criteria Actionable EMR alert sent in conjunction with the text page

12 Physician interface with personalized VTE RAM John Doe x John Doe REJECT the VTE Risk Alert and OR select the rationale to turn off the text page alert for 5 days providing credit for appropriate prophylaxis 12

13 Individual Physician Feedback

14 Physician-tailored continuing medical education The recommended educational activity is based on physician performance data. In this case, 12% of the instances of suboptimal prophylaxis (i.e. alerts generated) were in cancer patients. The recommendation for the track focused on thrombosis in cancer.

22 Secondary Objectives Rate of venous thromboembolism, mortality, major bleeding, and heparin induced thrombocytopenia among high-risk patients stratified by year (95% Confidence Interval) p-value 90 day VTE % 9.3 ( ) 9.7 ( ) 6.7 ( ) day VTE % 7.3% ( ) 7.9 ( ) 4.9 ( ) day all-cause mortality % 13.0 ( ) 12.7 ( ) 12.5 ( ) 0.96 In-hospital mortality % 2.4 ( ) 2.1 ( ) 1.6 ( ) 0.43 Thromboprophylaxis Yes: in-hospital HIT* % 0.1 ( ) 0.2 ( ) 0.1 ( ) 0.96 Yes: Major bleeding* % 0.8 ( ) 0.8 ( ) 1.1 ( ) 0.96 No: Major bleeding* % 1.8 ( ) 2.0 ( ) 2.1 ( ) 0.96 Woller SC etal. The Am J Med (2016) 129, 1124.e e26

23 Event Rate Secondary Objectives Drop in alerts yet the rate of appropriate chemoprophylaxis increased. Hospitalist response to the alerts increased over time, which refutes concern surrounding alert fatigue. Suggestive that over time the hospitalists perceived increased value associated with the alerts. Quarterly rates of behavioral change among hospitalists during the intervention year Q1 Q2 Q3 Q Woller SC etal. The Am J Med (2016) 129, 1124.e e26

24 CONCLUSIONS The VRI was associated with a significant increase in appropriate VTE prophylaxis We observed a reduction in symptomatic HA-VTE The VRI was well received by clinicians Woller SC etal. The Am J Med (2016) 129, 1124.e e26
