Implementing a Patient-Centered Education Bundle to Improve Venous Thromboembolism Prevention
This study found that providing engaging education to frontline nurses and just-in-time, patient-centered education to patients significantly improved administration and acceptance of prescribed VTE prophylaxis for hospitalized patients across an entire community hospital. These findings show that proven interventions developed at academic hospitals can be successfully implemented broadly in community hospitals.
