Jack clott seminars for nurses

This project focuses on implementing findings from a completed PCORI study, which showed that a single, web-based nurse education module can have a dramatic effect on missed doses of VTE prophylaxis administration (blood clot prevention) in hospitalized patients.

Our aims are:

• To implement the validated nurse education module, and patient-centered education tool at 10 trauma centers in an existing research hospital network (CLOTT)

• To conduct a qualitative study to tailor the intervention to the different health care settings and comp
