Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A multicenter, two-arms, open-label clinical trial has been designed to determine whether the system-wide multifaceted intervention could increase the rate of at-risk participants who received prophylaxis (RP) and decrease the incidence of any hospital-associated VTE in 90 days during and after hospital admission. .Selected hospital will be regarded as a cluster and randomized into interventional or control group.In interventional group, eligible hospitalized patients will receive a variety of the multifaceted quality improvement(QI) interventions since admitted in hospital.In control group, patients will receive no more than common recommended care or an existing policy.The primary outcomes are the proportion of appropriate prophylaxis in hospitalized patients and the incidence of HA-VTE in 90 days after hospital admission.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
During the study period, eligible patients enrolled in hospitals assigned to interventional group will receive a variety of the multifaceted quality improvement(QI) interventions, including mandatory risk assessment, a computer alert(computer-based clinical decision support system and computerized reminders), strengthened education, and audit. Patients in hospitals assigned to control group will receive common recommended care only, or an existing policy.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
The multifaceted QI interventions
Hospitals randomized into experimental group will implement follow interventions including:the distribution of the guideline and pathway, a computer alert(computer-based clinical decision support system and computerized reminders),audit and feedback.
The multifaceted interventions
1. An evidence-based clinical guideline and pathway in hospital.
2. A series Written care protocols for the implementation of performance measures.
3. A newly developed mobile application (mini-program) will be employed to facilitate venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment and prophylaxis. Patients will scan a QR code to enroll in the program and be linked with their physician. Through the application, patients will complete standardized self-assessments of VTE risk, and physicians will receive periodic reminders indicating whether the assessment and prophylaxis orders have been completed.The application also provides educational modules and targeted messages for both patients and physicians, and enables interactive communication.
4. A quality-control team will receive weekly feedback reports to verify whether all enrolled patients underwent appropriate prophylaxis.
Routine VTE prophylaxis in local clinical practice
Patients in the routine VTE prophylaxis(control) group will receive routine VTE prophylaxis according to current guidelines and clinical practices.
Routine VTE prophylaxis
Patients randomized to the Routine VTE prophylaxis (Control) group will receive routine VTE prophylaxis according to current guidelines and clinical practices
