Evaluation of the SCALED (SCaling AcceptabLE cDs)

Recruiting

• Conditions: Traumatic Brain Injury; Venous Thromboembolism

• Registration Number: NCT05628207
• Lead Sponsor: University of Minnesota

Brief Summary

This project will adapt a currently deployed Clinical Decision Support (CDS) system to deliver a VTE prevention guideline for adult patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). We believe this is an ideal PCOR use case given PCORI's continued effort to combat VTE in trauma and our experience previously implementing this guideline. The Our overall goal is to successfully scale, evaluate, and maintain an interoperable TBI CDS across 7 total institutions.
