Patricia Dykes: The DOVE eCQM Offers a Way to Measure, Benchmark, and Improve How We Detect VTE
Patricia Dykes, Research Program Director at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, shared on LinkedIn:
”New Publication in JAMA Network Open: Delays in diagnosing venous thromboembolism (VTE) are alarmingly common and deadly.
Using the DOVE electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM), we found:
· 79–82% of patients experienced >24h diagnostic delay
· 70–71% had delays >72h
· Delays were linked to significantly higher 30-day mortality
· Most missed opportunities were practitioner-related
Findings were consistent across 2 health systems with different EHR platforms, highlighting a scalable opportunity for improving diagnostic safety in outpatient care.
The DOVE eCQM offers a way to measure, benchmark, and improve how we detect VTE—and potentially other serious, symptomatically vague conditions.
