Introduction
- Appropriate thromboprophylaxis is a pressing issue across the united states and the rate of VTE at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital is higher than hospitals of similar complexity.
- A new tool was created for our EPIC EMR, the VTE Merli Index, that provided at a glance and detailed feedback regarding VTE prophylaxis status
- Prior to implementation of the index, we studied its ease of use. Our goal was to show the tool would decrease the amount of time and number of clicks required to interrogate the EMR for relevant VTE information by at least 50%.

Introduction
The care of neurosurgical spine patients often involves a multi-disciplinary team, including neurosurgery residents, hospitalists, nursing staff, and physical/occupational therapists.
Oftentimes, post-op spine patients are on a non-neurosurgical service (hospitalist, MICU/SICU, medicine), who are provided with scant sign out on the procedure(s) performed.
The treatment team(s) that are helping manage patient care post-operatively are often unaware of the procedure performed, and what are the salient clinical signs/symptoms, radiographic findings, and laboratory values that need to be closely monitored
