VTE assessment

VitalPAC prompts clinicians to assess all patients for the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and prescribe prophylaxis as required.

Easy risk assessment

  • VitalPAC provides ward staff with an easy way to electronically record a patient's risk of developing VTE in line with Department of Health guidelines
  • It provides guidance on appropriate treatment according to the assessment
  • It enables staff to indicate the intended treatment, and subsequently confirm whether this has been prescribed

High levels of compliance

  • VitalPAC clearly highlights any patient who has not been risk assessed on admission
  • It indicates when a repeat assessment is due
  • It provides detailed daily reports to identify areas where compliance could be improved
  • It automatically generates performance reports to assure the board and commissioners that appropriate care is being delivered and compliance targets are being met
