Ardis Callie on Standardisation and Documentation of VTE Risk Assessments
Ardis Callie, Research Assistant, Intersection of Australian Healthcare Standards and Clinical Governance, shared on LinkedIn:
”Quality Statement 1: Standardised and documented VTE risk assessments using an agreed risk tool on admission for all patients including day cases, would be a low cost, good start to VTE prevention.
That way, chemoprophylaxis could be provided in appropriate cases.
Sadly, surgeons I know, in some private hospitals at least, assume all day cases are low risk, don’t conduct VTE risk assessments, and prioritise short term bleeding risk and ignore the consequences for the patient when they go home (despite the national VTE Prevention Clinical Care Standard 2020).
Queensland Health follows a stricter 2018 guideline so patients should be in good hands in those facilities.
Comments welcome from those in the know.”
