Abstract
Care of patients with thrombosis requires application of rapidly advancing science, complex decisions balancing risks and benefits, interpretation of multiple data sources, and coordination across fields. To meet these challenges, we describe our collaborative meeting for discussion and coordination of complex thrombosis cases, the Clot Cases Conference. Based loosely on the tumor board model from oncology, we describe the multidisciplinary nature, with attendees from multiple disciplines and institutions, and hybrid format, including both case- and topic-based sessions. We present survey data on how conference participants perceive their attendance affected learning, patient care, and professional satisfaction. Finally, we discuss opportunities for improvement and expansion of the Clot Cases Conference model to meet the complexity of modern thrombosis care.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis is a long-awaited resource for contemporary cardiologists, hematologists, vascular medicine specialists and clinician-scientists actively involved in treatment decisions and clinical investigation of thrombotic disorders involving the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. The principal focus of the Journal centers on the pathobiology of thrombosis and vascular disorders and the use of anticoagulants, platelet antagonists, cell-based therapies and interventions in scientific investigation, clinical-translational research and patient care.
The Journal will publish original work which emphasizes the interface between fundamental scientific principles and clinical investigation, stimulating an interdisciplinary and scholarly dialogue in thrombosis and vascular science. Published works will also define platforms for translational research, drug development, clinical trials and patient-directed applications. The Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis'' integrated format will expand the reader''s knowledge base and provide important insights for both the investigation and direct clinical application of the most rapidly growing fields in medicine-thrombosis and vascular science.
