For those of you who have the digital capability to collate VTE risk assessment compliance from all patients admitted aged 16 and over, do you include chemotherapy patients? I am having a lot of challenges with the inclusion of this patient cohort
Nice is quite clear and states:
Admission in the context of this guideline refers to admission as an inpatient, where a bed is provided for 1 or more nights, or admission as a day patient, where a bed is provided for a procedure including surgery or chemotherapy but not for an overnight stay.
