Guidelines recommend that patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) represented by low-risk deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) receive initial treatment at home versus at the hospital, but a large percentage of these patients are not managed at home. This study assessed the effectiveness of a quality intervention on provider knowledge and confidence in evaluating outpatient treatment for patients with VTE in the emergency department (ED). A pilot program to overcome obstacles to outpatient VTE treatment in appropriate patients was initiated at Baylor Scott & White Health Temple ED. Subsequently, a formalized quality intervention with a targeted educational program was developed and delivered to ED providers. Provider surveys were administered pre- and post-quality intervention in order to assess clinical knowledge, confidence levels, and perceived barriers. Patient discharge information was extracted from electronic health records. Twenty-five ED providers completed the pre- and post-surveys; 690 and 356 patients with VTE were included in the pre- and post-pilot and pre- and post-quality intervention periods, respectively. Many ED providers reported that a major barrier to discharging patients to outpatient care was the lack of available and adequate patient follow-up appointments. Notably, after the quality intervention, an increase in provider clinical knowledge and confidence scores was observed. Discharge rates for patients with VTE increased from 25.6% to 27.5% after the pilot intervention and increased from 28.5% to 29.9% after the quality intervention, but these differences were not statistically significant. Despite instantaneous uptick in discharge rates after the interventions, there was not a long-lasting effect. Although the quality intervention led to improvements in provider clinical knowledge and confidence and identified barriers to discharging patients with VTE, discharge rates remained stable, underscoring the need for additional endeavors.
