Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Care in Emergency Department (ED)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Utilize implementation mapping to facilitate intervention development and evaluation that can be disseminated broadly in diverse settings. Intervention to include a structured education program for clinicians on home management of patients with low-risk PE led by regional/national leaders, the development of Clinician pre-commitment, point-of-care nudge including a clinical guideline integrated into an electronic health record clinical decision support, facilitated medication access, and dedicated outpatient rapid-follow up.
