1 1 P a g e U N C H E A L T H C A R E G U I D A N C E D O C U M E N T Venous Thromboembolism in Adults P U R P O S E This document is intended to provide guidance on the provision of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in adult populations in the inpatient setting. Recomm endations provided in this document are a reflection of current guidelines, clinical evidence, and institutional initiatives. These recommendations are not intended to replace clinical judgment or patient evaluation and are meant as an organizational guideline; they are intended to serve as a tool for decision making. The table below provides recommendations for VTE prophylaxis in a variety of patient populations. The included options do not cover all possible scenarios; clinical judgment must be exercis ed in some situations (i.e. contraindications to anticoagulation, morbid obesity or low body weight, etc.) R E C O M M E N D A T I O N S SCREENING Routine screening for VTE is NOT recommended in asymptomatic individuals, either on a routine basis or on admission / discharge / transfer. Screening should only be performed in patients with symptoms suggestive of VTE. Developed by: [Type Brian text] Murray, PharmD, BCPS
