ATHN 4: Transition of Care for Patients with Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)

With the prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) on the rise, ATHN has launched ATHN 4, a new project aimed at helping to improve the transition of care from an inpatient to an outpatient setting for patients with VTE.

ATHN 4 is taking place at 15 hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) that are ATHN Affiliates. With a focus on improving transition of care practices for both adult and pediatric care, this project is evaluating patient and family understanding and adherence to anticoagulation therapy instructions.
