Research suggests hospitalised patients are over 100 times more likely to develop a VTE compared with the rest of the community, suggesting VTE prevention in hospitalised patients is a key aspect of improving patient safety.
Whilst all surgical patients had a VTE screen completed prior to surgery, medical patients were not being screened. Despite no reports of VTE due to inadequate preventative methods, an audit identified a large % of medical patients as at high risk of developing a VTE. These results prompted the development of a risk screening tool and process for all admitted patients.
"find" function doesn't work properly. try above text and search for "to" and doesn't give you all the correct results.
