8 Dissemination of a Protocol to Expedite Home Treatment of Low-Risk Patients With Venous Thromboembolism With Monotherapy Anticoagulation

Monotherapy anticoagulation has been used in two emergency departments (EDs) in Indianapolis, IN in to treat and discharge patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) [PMID: 26113241, 27143861]. Here, we describe the process and outcomes of dissemination and implementation of this protocol, including emergency physician supervised follow-up clinics in two large hospitals in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex of Texas. We hypothesized low rates of recurrent VTE and clinically significant bleeding at 30 days.
