DoctorScribeComplete Clinic Management

Stop VTE before it happens — at admission, not after the swelling

DoctorScribe mandates Caprini scoring on every surgical / medical admission, autofills enoxaparin orders by weight + CrCl, and flags missed doses. Hospital VTE rate drops measurably in 90 days.

Clinical Disclaimer: Caprini is validated for surgical patients; for medical inpatients consider Padua score. Always weigh against bleeding risk (active ulcer, recent ICH, platelets <50k, INR >1.5). HIT in last 100 days = no heparin family — use fondaparinux or DOAC. Always verify against your local prescribing reference and apply clinical judgment.

Mandatory VTE risk on every admission — automatic

DoctorScribe auto-calculates Caprini on admission, prompts for missing risk factors, suggests the right LMWH dose by renal function and BMI, and writes the prophylaxis order directly into the chart. NABH-ready.
