dc.description.abstract	INTRODUCTION: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) deaths represent some 7% of all deaths in Australian hospitals. Although the risks and financial burden of VTE is well understood, compliance with VTE prophylaxis in hospitalised patients remains poor. The current emergency department (ED) policy states that the VTE risk assessment form should be completed for all ED patients. In addition, medical staff should complete the VTE prophylaxis section of the medication chart and prescribe anticoagulants as required.	en_US
