What's New
| Modern Practices in Anticoagulation: Practical Strategies for Diagnosis and Management of Acute VTE Jori May, MD; Stephan Moll, MD; and Paul Lewis, MD, FAAFP, ABPM-CI, CPE, CPHIMS In this accredited activity, a panel of experts in hematology/VTE and primary care discuss the challenge of diagnosing and treating VTE in a busy non-specialist setting. Topics include risk stratification strategies, differential diagnosis tools, and effective clinical strategies for managing patients who present with symptoms of a DVT or PE. |
| The Challenges at the Intersection of VTE and Obesity: Defining the Issues Rachel P. Rosovsky, MD, MPH; Stephan Moll, MD; and Bishoy Ragheb, PharmD, BCACP, CDE, CACP, CTTS This activity, the first in a two-part series, focuses on the effects of obesity on VTE and anticoagulation therapy. Follow along with the faculty as they clarify the relationship between obesity and VTE and outline strategies for tailoring anticoagulation therapy based on body mass index (BMI) and other relevant factors. A case study is included to help demonstrate the challenges of – and solutions to – anticoagulation therapy in this patient population |
| Anticoagulation in Obese Patients: Applied Clinical Practices in the Non-specialist Setting Rachel P. Rosovsky, MD, MPH; Stephan Moll, MD; and Bishoy Ragheb, PharmD, BCACP, CDE, CACP, CTTS This activity, the second in a two-part series, explores anticoagulation treatment strategies in special patient groups, including patients with heavy menses, renal issues, or a history of bariatric surgery. This activity is designed to equip its participants with strategies for ensuring optimal anticoagulation in a variety of situations in patients both with and without obesity. |
| Monograph-The Role of Care Transitions in Critical Access Hospitals This monograph details the beneficial effects of a targeted Care Transition Intervention (CTI) on VTE outcomes in Black rural populations. This program, which was piloted in a Critical Access Hospital catchment region in Mississippi, demonstrates how CTIs might reduce VTE-associated hospital readmissions in underserved populations. Explore this important study and its implications for VTE care across the country. |
