Becoming a VTE prevention champion – how to engage your tools and energize your team

Wednesday, March 29th, 2023 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT

About 900,000 Americans develop venous thromboembolisms each year, about half of which are healthcare-associated. Up to 70 percent of these blood clots are preventable, yet fewer than 50 percent of hospital patients receive appropriate preventive treatment, according to the CDC.

During this webinar, two experts will share tools and strategies nursing leaders can use to empower their teams to become VTE prevention champions and achieve sustained quality improvements. 

Learning points:
 
  • The cost of VTEs — from patients to providers to financial repercussions
  • Key strategies to enhance compliance and improve outcome quality
  • How to energize and excite your team for long-term success
