The Role of Mechanical Prophylaxis and Mobility in Meeting CMS VTE Prevention Standards
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and
pulmonary embolism (PE), is a significant and preventable complication of
hospitalization. Affecting up to 600,000 patients annually, VTE is a leading cause
of preventable hospital death, post-surgical readmissions, and increased length of
stay.
Preventing Hospital-Associated Venous Thromboembolism with Portable Mechanical Compression Therapy
VTE prevention is one of the most critical interventions that directly affects patient safety and the overall cost of care. However, even though as many as 70% of HA-VTE cases are preventable, fewer than half of patients receive preventative measures. Clinical guidelines, such as the AORN Guideline for the Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism, offer a framework for developing and implementing protocols, including mechanical prophylaxis.
New Infographic: Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a vein located deep within the body, most commonly the lower leg or thigh. However, DVT can also occur in areas such as the pelvis, groin, or even the arm.
RF Health Announces Long-term Contract with Indiana’s Community Health Network for DVT Prevention
RF Health, a provider of data-driven med-tech devices and healthcare solutions that revolutionize the process of early mobilization, blood clot (DVT) prevention, and pressure injury prevention, recently announced its long-term contract for The Movement and Compressions (MAC) System with Indiana’s Community Health Network. With this partnership, RF Health anticipates serving over 34,000 legs (about 17,000 patients) per year over the next five years.
Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury Prevention: How Hospitals Can Reduce Harm, Improve Patient Outcomes, and Support Clinical Teams
Despite being largely preventable, hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) remain one of the most common and costly hospital-acquired conditions in the United States. More than 2.5 million people are affected annually, with approximately 1 in 10 hospitalized patients developing a pressure injury during their stay.

New Infographic: Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury (HAPI) Prevention
Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are a growing patient safety threat—costly, painful, and largely preventable. This infographic explores the scope of this critical issue, from the prevalence and financial impact of HAPIs to the serious consequences they have on patient outcomes and clinical workflows. It also highlights proven prevention strategies and introduces innovative solutions designed to address the most common pressure injury sites using advanced immersion and envelopment technology.
What Happened After the Headlines?
Just one week after our feature on Inside Indiana Business, Recovery Force Health is back in the headlines — and for good reason. We’ve secured a multi-million dollar agreement with the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston to bring the MAC System to 15,000 veterans annually. IU Health has also signed on for clinical trials. It’s a proud moment for our Indiana-born team — and a giant leap forward for smarter, data-powered patient care.

New Infographic: Moonboots Were Made for Space – Not Pressure Injury Prevention
Traditional enclosed heel-offloading devices— often called “moon boots”—are bulky, hot, and hard to manage. Open-air alternatives like the HeelP.O.D. make care easier by offering clear visual confirmation of proper offloading and effortless heel access for staff.
The Limitations of Traditional Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Devices in Preventing Venous Thromboembolism
Mechanical prophylaxis is regularly recommended for use in combination with pharmacologic prophylaxis to reduce the incidence of VTE, particularly in surgical patients. It also plays a crucial role in preventing VTE in patients at high risk of bleeding or those who cannot receive pharmacological prophylaxis.
A New Era in Pressure Injury Prevention
Pressure injuries are one of the most prevalent and costly hospital-acquired conditions in the U.S., with the sacrum and heels being the two most common sites to develop pressure injuries. With the addition of HeelP.O.D. to RF Health’s innovative Pressure Injury Prevention (PIP) portfolio, the company offers a comprehensive portfolio of innovative solutions to address the top two leading causes of hospital-acquired pressure injuries.

A Dual Approach to VTE Prevention: Balancing Pharmacological and Mechanical Prophylaxis
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a significant health concern for hospitalized patients, with an estimated annual rate of 350,000 to 600,000 cases in the United States1. It is a leading cause of preventable hospital death and one of the most frequent reasons for hospital readmissions following surgery.
