DOI: 10.1007/s11606-020-06303-1
Abstract: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of preventable harm among hospitalized patients. Consequently, considerable emphasis has been placed upon increasing prescription of VTE prophylaxis; however, prophylaxis prescription does not ensure administration. Evidence suggests many… read more here.
