The impact of pulmonary embolism response teams on acute PE management and outcomes
                    
                    Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death. Hospitals worldwide initiated the movement to assemble multidisciplinary teams or Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERTs) to help manage PE, improve care coordination, and determine suitable treatment interventions for acute PE patients. First established in 2012 at Massachusetts General Hospital, over 100 institutions now have active PERTs.
