Background

Venous thromboembolism (venous thromboembolism) ranks as the third most prevalent cardiovascular disease after acute myocardial infarction and stroke, posing a significant risk to patient safety.

Purpose

This study aimed to design and implement a smart hospital platform-based venous thromboembolism risk management system and evaluate its impact on venous thromboembolism and bleeding risk assessment times, thereby enhancing clinical venous thromboembolism prevention and control.

Methods

A prospective interventional study was conducted to compare outcomes before and after the implementation of the venous thromboembolism risk management system.

n = 5,763
Results

vte cases dropped sharply after rollout, fewer clots per inpatients

Following system implementation, the time required for nurses to complete venous thromboembolism risk assessments was reduced from 101.90 ± 15.694 s to 37.18 ± 5.701 s ( p < 0.001), while the time for physicians to complete bleeding risk assessments decreased from 138.08 ± 17.348 s to 50.00 ± 9.013 s ( p < 0.001).

More results

The timeliness of venous thromboembolism risk assessments improved from 71.0 to 92.0% ( p < 0.001), bleeding risk assessment timeliness increased from 74.0 to 94.0% ( p < 0.001), dynamic risk assessment rates rose from 78.0 to 95.0% ( p < 0.001), and the accuracy of risk assessments improved from 64.0 to 92.0% ( p < 0.001).

Conclusion · 1 of 3

The venous thromboembolism risk management system developed on a smart hospital platform demonstrated marked improvements in risk assessment efficiency and process quality indicators.

Conclusion · 2 of 3

These findings suggest that the system is feasible and can effectively support standardized venous thromboembolism management in a real-world hospital setting.

Conclusion · 3 of 3

However, given the pre-post study design without a concurrent control group, the observed clinical benefits should be interpreted as preliminary trends rather than definitive evidence of effectiveness.
