Preventing Venous Thromboembolism – Delta Day – In Person Event

A DELTA Day is WSHA’s most intensive training to develop skills and knowledge required to immediately implement safety and quality programs.

• Design, Engage, Learn to Accelerate! DELTA = Change. We want these events to accelerate change; to be of value to your patients and communities.
• It is a collaborative, front-line improvement workshop, focusing on shared learning and rapid cycle improvement.
• There will be practical tools and resources ready for implementation of a VTE pilot at your setting.
• This will be a fun and engaging atmosphere to work in! Teams are encouraged to attend.
• Follow up ACCELERATE webinar work groups will take place in the three months following, to support collaboration and implementation.
  • During this time, teams will provide updates on how their pilot planning is going and receive feedback from the group and the subject matter expert.

 Who should attend?

• Hospitalists, surgeons, pharmacists, nurses, quality leaders and IT support.
• Any stake holders in the process of VTE prevention at your hospital setting.
• A TEAM – please have at least 3 people from your hospital come together to this event.
• The goal is for a total of 6 hospital teams at this implementation-focused event, with about 5 people per hospital team (give or take).
