Purpose

This project will adapt a currently deployed Clinical Decision Support (CDS) system to deliver a VTE prevention guideline for adult patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). We believe this is an ideal PCOR use case given PCORI's continued effort to combat VTE in trauma and our experience previously implementing this guideline. The Our overall goal is to successfully scale, evaluate, and maintain an interoperable TBI CDS across 7 total institutions.

Arm Groups

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
4 hospitals using CDS TBI healthcare system leveraging the rigorous approach, SCALED (SCaling AcceptabLE cDs), to guide CDS scaling across the system in VTE prevention.
  • Other: Observational
    There is no intervention, the hospitals will adopt a CDS system which prompts users to follow best practice guidelines.
3 hospitals not using CDS TBI (control) healthcare system not leveraging the rigorous approach, SCALED (SCaling AcceptabLE cDs), to guide CDS scaling across the system in VTE prevention.
  • Other: Observational-control
    There is no intervention, the hospitals will not use the CDS system.
