NCT05628207

Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • primary effectiveness outcome

    VTE event rate

    2 years and a half

  • Evaluate implementation strategy guided by the EPIS Implementation

    the number of patients that received treatment according to the best practice guideline and the % adherence to the guideline per site

    2 years and a half

Study Arms (2)

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

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

Interventions

There is no intervention, the hospitals will adopt a CDS system which prompts users to follow best practice guidelines.

4 hospitals using CDS TBI

There is no intervention, the hospitals will not use the CDS system.

3 hospitals not using CDS TBI (control)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

Study Population

All patients age 18 and older admitted with a TBI will be eligible for inclusion.

You may qualify if:

  • age 18 and older
  • admitted with a TBI

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who die within 24 hours of hospital admission and patients documented as "comfort cares" during the first 72 hours of hospitalization or with mild TBI will be excluded from final analysis.
