Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis for hospitalized adult patients: a survey of US health care providers on attitudes and practices

Abstract

Despite guideline recommendations to use RAMs, the majority of providers in our survey do not use them. A majority of respondents believed that technology could help improve VTE prophylaxis rates. A majority of respondents do not reassess the risk of VTE at discharge or educate patients about this risk of VTE at discharge.
