VTE Risk Assessment data collection: October 2013

This is the October 2013 statistics on Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Risk Assessment in England, produced by NHS England, was released on 10th January 2014 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.
 
Key Points

  • Of the 1.2 million adult patients admitted to NHS funded acute care in October 2013, as reported in this data collection, 96% of these received a VTE risk assessment on admission, the same as September 2013.
  • In October 2013, the proportion of admissions receiving a VTE risk assessment was slightly lower for NHS acute care providers (96%) than IS providers (98%), with NHS acute care providers carrying out around 97% of all VTE risk assessments.
  • All the NHS regions (London, North of England, South of England, Midlands and East of England) achieved the 95% goal in this month.
  • In October 2013, 86% of the providers (273 trusts) carried out a VTE risk assessment for 95% or more of their admissions, an increase of 5 percentage points from 81% (258 trusts) in September 2013. The percentage of trusts carrying out a VTE risk assessment for 90% to below 95% of their admissions, and therefore nearing the CQUIN goal, is 11% (36 trusts).
