SHM QI Training
Professional Development
VTE Prevention Collaborative
Your local quality improvement (QI) team can receive a year of mentoring (at no cost) from SHM Experts with VTE and QI expertise to design, evaluate and sustain a VTE prevention initiative.
Mentors will work with each site leader to tackle site-specific issues using proven QI techniques. Mentoring includes eight scheduled telephone calls offered over a 12 month period, ad hoc e-mails, and instruction organized around the VTE QI Implementation Guide, SHM's step-by-step guide for developing a VTE prevention program. (The Implementation Guide can also serve as a self-study guide.)

Participants had a chance to see key QI principles reappear in each project, while also gaining exposure to alternative strategies.
