Venous Thromboembolism
The venous thromboembolism (VTE) measures were developed as a result of the ‘National Consensus Standards for the Prevention and Care of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)’ project between 91Ï㽶¶ÌÊÓƵ and the National Quality Forum (NQF) that formally began in January 2005. The development process was guided by the expertise and advice provided by the NQF steering committee (SC) and the Joint 91Ï㽶¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Technical Advisory Panel (TAP).
