• Institutional Logo What is a PERT? Bylaws. Definition “An institutionally based multidisciplinary team that: • has the ability to rapidly assess and provide treatment for patients with acute pulmonary embolism • has a formal mechanism to exercise a full range of medical, surgical, and endovascular therapies • can provide appropriate multidisciplinary follow-upof patients • when feasible, collects, evaluates and shares data regarding the effectiveness of treatment rendered”
• Institutional Logo PERT Consortium Organization
• Institutional Logo Membership 2017 • >70 Member Institutions (40 Founding) • 50+ “Transitional” Member Institutions • 500+ Professional Members • PERT International… • “PERT fever” spreading around the globe • “PERT champions” from China, Brazil, Uganda, Turkey, Canada, Netherlands, India
• Institutional Logo PERT Consortium - Boston, MA
• Institutional Logo PERT Consortium Activities • Full ownership of Annual Scientific PE • Developing standardized clinical Meeting practice protocols • Satellite symposia at national meetings • Webinars • “PERT-inent Updates” • On-line library of references for PE • Established governance structure • Election proceedings • Constituted Board of Directors • PAID MEMBER INSTITUTIONS: 40 FOUNDING. 60+ now; >100 involved • Multicenter registry with data-sharing • Corporate Committee of nearly 20 industry partners • Published manuscripts • Partner in clinical trials – PE TRACT
PERT Successes - • Institutional Logo • Coordinated care • Collaboration amongst experts; cross-disciplinary consensus; excitement about participation • Increased communication & better transitions • Single destination (MICU) • Involvement and buy-in of other specialties • Increased institutional awareness (grand rounds, etc. ) • More consistency in management • Appropriate decisions re: intervention and non-intervention • Development of algorithms & improved followup • Education of trainees
• Institutional Logo PERT Challenges and Opportunities • Obtaining institutional support • Demonstrating a change in outcome based on establishment of a PERT discussion • Not possible to randomize • Data collection “before and after”- different ascertainment BUT… • HUGE opportunity for collaboration across institutions with PERTs and large scale data collection and research initiatives
• Institutional Logo “The PERT Consortium is at the center of the PE universe, and is the most important opportunity to date for improvement in care and outcomes for patients with PE. ” -Michael Jaff
• Institutional Logo PERT: Future of PE Management • PE still poorly understood; much to learn…State of Art still yet to be defined • New era: heightened awareness about need for coordinated institutional approach to a complex, life-threatening problem • OPTIMAL CARE WITH TEAM APPROACH! • PERT: a “model” program of interdisciplinary collaboration to streamline care, optimize outcomes, and develop better treatment paradigms • PERTTM Consortium • fills important unmet need • power of team-based care and collaboration across institutions • opportunity to expand knowledge base, educate providers & community, increase awareness, improve clinical practice & outcomes for patients
• Institutional Logo JOIN NOW! THANK YOU!
Summary • PERT fills important unmet need • Institutional Logo • Consortium provides opportunity to expand knowledge base, educate providers & community, increase awareness, improve clinical practice & outcomes for patients • Registry will establish quality metrics, provide benchmarks, and enable evaluation of real world data and trends • Keys to success… • GREAT enthusiasm, passion, progress • collaborative spirit, inclusiveness, team-based approach to PERT, partnership with like-minded organizations & industry • PERT Consortium will create Guidelines and Establish Standard of Care for PE, and move the field forward
