Description:
The data collection asks for 3 items of information:
- Number of patients aged 16 and over admitted in the month who have been risk assessed for VTE on admission to hospital using the criteria in a National VTE Risk Assessment Tool.
- Total number of patients aged 16 and over admitted in the month.
- Calculated from (1) and (2), the percentage of patients aged 16 and over, admitted within the month assessed for risk of VTE on admission.
The collection and publication of this data was paused to release NHS capacity to support the response to coronavirus (COVID-19). Following requests to restart, the collection underwent an assurance process which included consultation with providers. Following the feedback, the VTE Risk Assessment Data Collection will be reinstated from April 2024, with the first submission due in July 2024. The data collection will remain unchanged from the previous collection.
