This study demonstrates that a mandated physician VTE order set ensures that nearly all patients will be stratified for VTE risk and provided with prophylaxis based on their risk category. Adhering to the evidence-based clinical practice guidelines from the American College of Chest Physicians is effective in improving prophylaxis and decreasing the rate of hospital-acquired VTE in hospitalized patients, and in decreasing the rate of preventable VTE cases based on the Joint Commission's core measure 6.
