VTE Diagnosis: Protocol-Driven Patient Care and Follow-Up

VTE Assessment and Diagnosis Module

Important steps in the patient care pathway are documented electronically with the module designed to lead you through established protocols.

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (case study) are already seeing the benefits of the DAWN VTE Assesment and Diagnosis Module and Dr Jane Strong presented a poster at the BSH meeting illustrating how the module had revolutionised their DVT service –  POSTER: University Hospitals of Leicester, DAWN VTE Assessment and Diagnosis Module.

The completion of questionnaires form a major part of the DVT assessment process within DAWN. This facility enables the collection of important information used in the assessment such as the patient’s Well’s score and documentation of risk factors.
