Summary
Delayed venous thromboembolism (VTE) diagnosis is an impactful harm in hospitals, but identifying cases is difficult and feedback is limited. This retrospective real-world study shows that a LLM-based electronic trigger outperforms traditional electronic triggers in detecting VTE delays; although positive predictive value was only 48% and observed incidence of VTE Dx delay was quite low.
