Abstract

This project sought to address the overutilization of inherited thrombophilia testing in the hospital after a blood clot or stroke. At Jefferson Health’s three urban hospitals, these tests were frequently ordered, with charges of nearly $400,000 in 2019, yet no patients with a positive test had their clinical management definitively changed as a result. The project’s aim was to decrease test utilization at these hospitals by 75% by the end of 2020. Interventions were carried out in cycles and included a series of educational sessions and sharing of practice-level data, targeted at the highest utilizers.
