Anticoagulation Therapy: Toolkit for Implementing the National Patient Safety Goal

Anticoagulation medications are a high-risk treatment that commonly leads to adverse drug events due to the complexity of dosing these medications, monitoring their effects, and ensuring patient compliance. This new resource is designed to help performance improvement directors, pharmacists, directors of nursing, and medical staff assess the safety of their current anticoagulation practices and/or implement a defined anticoagulation management program. The implementation guide includes an accompanying CD-ROM with practical forms, examples, and other tools that any size organization can consider for its program.
