Hospital acquired venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a term for all VTE that occurs in a hospital stay or within 90 days of admission. National Institute of Health and Care Excellence guidelines recommend that all medical patients should be assessed to identify the risk of VTE and bleeding using a risk assessment tool1. VTE prophylaxis is an essential part of preventive medicine to reduce morbidity and mortality. An audit was performed in a medical department to assess the number of patients who had the local VTE assessment form completed. The standard was set that all patients should have VTE forms completed.
