Official title
Patient-Centered Education Bundle to Decrease Patient Refusal of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prophylaxis
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators have recently developed a registry of missed doses of VTE prophylaxis that includes retrospective data on missed doses of VTE prophylaxis. To decrease rates of VTE prophylaxis refusal, the group has developed a patient-centered education bundle that will be delivered as an in-person, 1-on-1 discussion session with a nurse educator. Supporting education materials include a 2-page education sheet and an educational video. The investigators hypothesize that patient refusal of VTE prophylaxis is associated with significant knowledge gaps among patients regarding patients' risk of developing VTE and the benefits of VTE prophylaxis and that delivering an education bundle to patients that refuse VTE prophylaxis will improve compliance with VTE prophylaxis and decrease rates of VTE.
