Summary

This trial is testing a new way to improve the treatment of patients with pulmonary embolism to see if it can help avoid unnecessary hospital stays.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who arrive at the emergency department with a pulmonary embolism (PE), which is a blockage in one of the lung's arteries. The study aims to include those who might benefit from improved care processes.
What is being tested?
The intervention being tested involves new procedures for managing PE patients in the emergency department, with a focus on reducing unnecessary hospital admissions while maintaining patient safety and quality of care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on health care management rather than medication or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects associated with it. However, changes in care may affect patient experience.
