Impact of an Integrated Electronic Health Record Protocol on Inferior Vena Cava Filter Retrieval Attempt Rates: An Observational Cohort Study.
Attempted retrieval rates were significantly higher in the After group and Medical After subgroup. Trauma subgroup rates were similar, likely because a previous intervention to increase retrieval in trauma patients was in place during the pre-implementation period of our study. Findings suggest that using an automated electronic health record-based prompt to facilitate IVC filter retrieval scheduling could greatly improve retrieval rates and patient safety.
