Evaluation of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prophylaxis in Medically Ill Patients

Completed

Conditions studied: Venous Thromboembolism

In brief

VTE prophylaxis is not as routinely employed in medically ill patients as compared to surgical patients. This retrospective chart review project will evaluate the effectiveness of VTE prophylaxis in medically ill patients at the University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics compared to current literature. The study will ultimately serve as a quality improvement project to help improve patient care.
