Key Points Question Can a real-time, targeted, patient-centered education bundle reduce nonadministration of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in hospitalized patients? Findings In this controlled preintervention-postintervention comparison trial of 19 652 adult patients on medical and surgical units, nonadministration of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis significantly declined on units that received an intervention that combined an alert to a health educator about a missed dose of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis with patient education compared with control units. Meaning Timely, targeted education significantly reduces nonadministration of VTE prophylaxis in hospitalized patients and improves health care quality by leveraging real-time data to target interventions for at-risk patients.
