Abstract

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention and management are susceptible issues that require specific rules to sustain and oversee their functioning, as preventing VTE is a vital patient safety priority. This paper aims to investigate and provide recommendations for VTE assessment and reassessment through policy enhancement and development.<br />Methods: We reviewed different papers and policies to propose recommendations and theme analysis for policy modifications and enhancements to improve VTE prophylaxis and management.<br />Results: Recommendations were set to enhance the overall work of VTE prophylaxis, where the current VTE protocols and policies must ensure high levels of patient safety and satisfaction. The recommendations included working through a well-organized multidisciplinary team and staff engagement to support and enhance VTE's work. Nurses', pharmacists', and physical therapists' involvement in setting up the plan and prevention is the way to share the knowledge and paradigm of experience to standardize the management. Promoting policies regarding VTE prophylaxis assessment and reassessment using electronic modules as a part of the digital health process was proposed. A deep understanding of the underlying issues and the incorporation of generic policy recommendations were set.<br />Conclusion: This article presents recommendations for stakeholders, social media platforms, and healthcare practitioners to enhance VTE prophylaxis and management.<br />Competing Interests: Source of Support: None. Conflict of Interest: None.
