Background  Venous thromboembolism ( VTE ) is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization in cancer patients.    Objectives  To evaluate the feasibility of an electronic alert to identify and screen at‐risk individuals and gather rates of early detection of deep vein thrombosis ( DVT ).    Patients/Methods  An alert was built into the electronic medical record based on a validated risk tool (Khorana Score [ KS ]) and outcomes evaluated in an initial silent phase. The alert functioned in real time to warn physicians of high‐risk patients ( KS  ≥ 3) and suggested lower extremity screening ultrasonography in a subsequent active phase.    Results  Of 194 consecutive patients identified as high risk in the silent phase, 14 (7.2%) developed subsequent  DVT  or pulmonary embolism ( PE ) over 90‐day follow‐up, with a median of 27 days. Mean 90‐day emergency room ( ER ) visits, all‐cause admissions, and length of stay (days) for patients with  DVT  were 1.2, 1.6, and 9.1 compared to 0.89, 0.93, and 5.1 for all patients, respectively. In the active phase, 197 consecutive alerts met inclusion criteria, and 40 patients (20.3%) received a screening ultrasound. Five (12.5%) had a  DVT  and were started on therapeutic anticoagulation. Of patients with alerts who had screening deferred, 13 (8.3%) were later diagnosed with  DVT  (median 50.5 days) and 7 (4.5%) with  PE .    Conclusion  An automated alert may have value in early detection of  DVT  in high‐risk cancer patients leading to earlier intervention, and could potentially prevent  VTE ‐related morbidity.
