Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Discussion Communities
Society of Hospital Medicine's Ask the Expert Discussion Community
Each SHM Resource Room has been developed to promote leadership, disseminate the best evidence, facilitate education, and provide resources which can be applied locally to improve inpatient outcomes. Discussions of questions posed by our membership are meant to stimulate useful dialogue and may form the basis for future CME. To be leaders in our fields and within our organizations requires restraint, and input in written form should always be carefully worded so that it is evidenced based, preferably with specific references or protocols, so that the information is presented in the proper context.
