Clot-busting: a multifaceted approach to VTE prevention

Tuesday, March 29th, 2022 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT

Venous thromboembolism is a leading cause of preventable hospital death in the U.S., but as many as 70 percent of healthcare-associated VTE cases can be prevented.1 This webinar will highlight Quality Nurse Specialist III Amy Campbell's success in harnessing multidisciplinary stakeholders and data to drive a drastic decrease in VTE rates.

Webinar benefits:
  • Discover how multidisciplinary leader collaboration and VTE committee structure impact prevention efforts
  • Learn to transform facility and patient case data into rationale for continued improvement
  • Determine approaches from this facility that could be replicated for your own: Refining order sets, defining patient education and escalation protocol, tracking true patient compliance and building support of "clot busters" along the way
