About This Educational Initiative

ASHP Advantage is conducting a multidisciplinary educational series on managing patients at risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Developed by an educational steering committee comprised of pharmacists, physicians, and other experts in VTE prevention and management, this initiative is designed to provide innovative education and tools to improve VTE prevention and patient care. Activities include the Institutional Impact VTE Mentored Quality Initiative, through which physician-pharmacist faculty teams provide an onsite evaluation of selected health systems' VTE prevention practices. Featured CE programming includes web-based home study activities & podcasts accredited for continuing education for pharmacists, physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, and case managers. This initiative is supported by an educational grant from Ortho-McNeil, Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., administered by Ortho-McNeil Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC.
