Summary
The data collection was first made mandatory from June 2010 and data has been published quarterly from the first full quarter’s data (July to September 2010). From April 2019 there will be a change to the data collection to include 16 and 17 year old patients.
This data collection asks for the following information:
1. Number of admitted patients (aged 16 and over at the time of admission) in the month who have been risk assessed for VTE within 14 hours of admission to hospital, using the criteria in the NICE guidance.
2. Total number of admitted patients (aged 16 and over at the time of admission) in the month.
The percentage of admitted patients (aged 16 and over at the time of admission) in the month who have been risk assessed for VTE on admission is automatically calculated from items (1) and (2).
This data is published on the NHS England website. Please follow the link below.
