The clot cases conference: a proposed model to enhance multidisciplinary thrombosis care.

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.
