Hospital Associated VTE ® Age, hospital, surgery, prior VTE, cancer are the major risk factors ® 60% of incident VTE associated with recent hospitalization ® Risk period often extends beyond hospital stay ® Hospital is opportune access point to implement prevention Heit JA.

Reducing the Disease Burden of VTE ® VTE is a “winnable battle” ® Improve utilization of effective prevention ® If you are hospitalized or having surgery, ask about your VTE risk and prevention ® New oral anticoagulants improve safety and enhance secondary prevention of recurrent VTE ® Improve public awareness of VTE, risk factors and prevention ® Continued research
