PERT Case Review 2026

The Pulmonary Embolism Case Conference is a quarterly, Regularly Scheduled Series (RSS) designed as a structured, multidisciplinary forum for the review of complex and high-acuity pulmonary embolism (PE) cases. Each session centers on a case presentation, including a radiology-led review of diagnostic imaging, followed by a focused discussion of a relevant PE topic and a review of the supporting literature. Through collaborative case analysis, participants evaluate clinical decision-making, procedural outcomes, pharmacologic management, and system performance across the continuum of PE care. This series is intended to promote evidence-based, team-based learning and to identify opportunities to improve diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment selection, coordination of care, and patient outcomes in pulmonary embolism management.

1. Assess the clinical presentation, risk stratification, and diagnostic findings in patients with complex or high-acuity pulmonary embolism.
2. Interpret key radiographic and imaging findings relevant to the diagnosis and management of pulmonary embolism.
3. Apply current evidence and guideline-based literature to treatment decisions for patients with pulmonary embolism, including anticoagulation, catheter-based therapies, and other advanced interventions.
4. Discuss the roles of multiple specialties, including pharmacy, in the coordinated management of pulmonary embolism across emergency, inpatient, critical care, and procedural settings.
5. Evaluate clinical decision-making and procedural outcomes in PE cases to identify opportunities for quality improvement and system-based practice enhancement.
6. Incorporate multidisciplinary perspectives into individualized treatment planning for patients with pulmonary embolism to improve safety, efficiency, and patient outcomes.

Mitigation of Relevant Financial Relationships

Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships and Content Validity

It is policy at Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) for course directors, planners, moderators, faculty, and all others in a position to control content of an educational activity disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies that they may have had within the past 24 months. This policy is in accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. An ineligible company is any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. If an individual refuses to disclose financial relationships, they will be disqualified from being a part of the planning and implementation of the activity. Owners and/or employees of an ineligible company with business lines or products relating to the content of the activity will not be permitted to participate in the planning or execution of any accredited program.

The intent of this policy is to ensure that Scripps Health CME/CE certified activities promote quality and safety, are effective in improving medical practice, consist of valid, evidence-based content, and are independent of control from ineligible companies and free of commercial bias. Peer review of all content was conducted for all faculty presentations whose disclosure information was found to contain any financial relationships. This process consisted of reviewing the content, determining which financial relationships were relevant, and applying appropriate mitigation strategies. All listed relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies for individuals in control of content have been mitigated prior to the commencement of the activity.

The staff in Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education have disclosed that they have no financial relationships with any ineligible companies. Any peer reviewer who is determined to have a relevant financial relationship must recuse themselves from the peer review process.
