Key result
Resident physician feedback to staff physicians significantly improved the appropriateness of thromboprophylaxis in medical inpatients (P<.001).
Why the study?
Venous thromboembolism is a leading cause of preventable in-hospital death, and hospitals are recommended to have thromboprophylaxis protocols to prevent complications.

Resident feedback may improve TP appropriateness after Caprini implementation; leaves open effect on VTE prevention in medical inpatients.
INTRODUCTION: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the main causes of preventable in-hospital death. It is recommended for hospitals to have an appropriate thromboprophylaxis (TP) protocol to avoid VTE complications. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of the resident physician feedback to the staff physician in TP appropriateness after the Caprini RAM score implementation. METHODS: Caprini RAM was implemented by the residents in medical patients. Patients were divided in low, moderate, high, and highest-risk groups, with TP recommendation accordingly. In cases with inadequate TP, the resident provided feedback to the staff physician for adjustment. Change to appropriate TP was assessed retrospectively. CONCLUSIONS: Feedback from the internal medicine resident to staff physician improves appropriate TP in medical inpatients as a quality of care strategy.

Torres-Quintanilla et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Venous thromboembolism risk in medical inpatients. Resident physician feedback to staff physician was evaluated on Change to appropriate thromboprophylaxis (TP) (p=<.001). Resident physician feedback to staff physicians significantly improved the appropriateness of thromboprophylaxis in medical inpatients (P<.001).
