This measure assesses the number of patients diagnosed with confirmed venous thromboembolism (VTE) who received intravenous (IV) unfractionated heparin (UFH) therapy dosages AND had their platelet counts monitored using defined parameters such as a nomogram or protocol. This measure is part of a set of six prevention and treatment measures that address VTE (VTE-1: VTE Prophylaxis, VTE-2: ICU VTE Prophylaxis, VTE-3: VTE Patients with Anticoagulation Overlap Therapy, VTE-5: VTE Warfarin Therapy Discharge Instructions and VTE-6: Incidence of Potentially-Preventable VTE).
This measure assesses the number of patients who received venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis or have documentation why no VTE prophylaxis was given the day of or the day after hospital admission or surgery end date for surgeries that start the day of or the day after hospital admission.
This measure assesses the number of patients diagnosed with confirmed VTE who received an overlap of Parenteral (intravenous [IV] or subcutaneous [subcu]) anticoagulation and warfarin therapy. For patients who received less than five days of overlap therapy, they should be discharged on both medications or have a Reason for Discontinuation of Parenteral Therapy.
