National Policy Framework:
VTE Prevention in Adult Hospitalised Patients in NZ
i
• PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY FRAMEWORK
• This Policy Framework aims to guide DHBs and health
providers with planning and progressing improved
prevention of hospital-associated VTE in adult
hospitalised patients. It has been compiled in
consultation with the multidisciplinary membership of the
NZ VTE Prevention Steering Group and key opinion
leaders drawn from a range of clinical sub-specialities
and the Medical Colleges.
• This Policy Framework utilises current knowledge about
effective ways of implementing VTE prevention activities
in hospitals, and includes:
• Our Expectations
– HQSCommission will disseminate the
information to all DHBs , Hospitals and
encourage VTE prophylaxis.
– Will ask NZVTEP for assistance if necessary.
– We hope ALL DHBs, Hospitals in New
Zealand will have a VTE prevention policy for
adult patients, soon.
