The observation unit (OU) is an appropriate bed choice for the initiation of patient education and therapy in the treatment of uncomplicated deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism. Compared to inpatient care OU, treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) achieves similar effectiveness, increased patient satisfaction, is cost-effective, and relieves hospital bed shortage issues. Educational interventions in the OU allows the patient to safely transition into outpatient VTE therapy with comfort and insight. The OU allows for faster, safer, and more cost-effective VTE therapy and begins home therapy much quicker when compared to inpatient admission.
