Alfonso Tafur: Preventing Post-Hospitalization Blood Clots Using Precision Tools and Systems

Alfonso Tafur, Vascular Medicine Fellowship Program Director at University of Chicago, Director of Vascular Medicine Department at NorthShore University, shared on LinkedIn:

”Blood clots after hospitalization are preventable.

Yet they keep happening; not because we lack the knowledge, but because we fail to implement what we already know.

Prevention shouldn’t depend on whether someone remembers to order it.”
