Impact of an Institutional Clinical Pathway on Emergency Physicians' Stated Preferences in Treating Patients with Low Risk Pulmonary Embolism.

Our results suggest that implementation of an institutional clinical pathway with integration into the EHR was associated with a change in EPs' stated preferences for managing patients with acute low-risk PE in the ED. Implementation of an evidence-based standard pathway was associated with increased comfort and familiarity with PE risk stratification, as well as an increased comfort with and preference for early outpatient management of low-risk PE.
