Section A: Organizational Culture and Readiness Assessment
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and potentially life threatening condition. Deep
vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are the blood clots formed. Common site
of thrombosis occur is in deep veins, which is specified risk factors and found in over 80 percent
of VTE patients. These are severe form of complications which are associated with high
morbidity and mortality. This also increase the length of stay in hospital and make costly as well
as causes of readmission. The high risk of VTE are among the general surgeries, orthopedic,
cardiovascular and abdominal surgeries. Preventing DVT and PE after the surgery is most
important. DVT/VTE prophylaxis is recommend according to the international guidelines after
immediate postoperative period after general, orthopedic and cardio thoracic surgery. The
prophylaxis include pharmacology and mechanical intervention (Sutzko, 2018). The necessitates
organizational readiness and cultural changes focused on resolving this problem. In my
organization, there is a flow sheet tab in EPIC to chart under the patient daily assessment for
head to toes assessment where nurses have to chart which VTE/DVT prophylaxis is on patient,
whether it's applied or not if not the reason need to document and notification to provider is
necessary. The protocol have been place in high standards for patient safety. There are the VTE
collaborative those who monitor on these orders. However, an implementation barrier exists
following lack of policies reinforcing these protocols. Due to lack of acceptance of standardized
protocols, policy awareness and time pressure it causes barrier in implementation.
