Reimagined anticoagulation clinics / broader medication safety clinics
Anticoagulation clinics should evolve into broader medication safety clinics to optimize the use of direct oral anticoagulants and other high-risk cardiovascular medications.
Cite This Study
Barnes et al. (2016) conducted a review in Patients requiring anticoagulation (atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, mechanical valve replacement). Reimagined anticoagulation clinics / medication safety clinics was evaluated. Reimagining anticoagulation clinics as broader medication safety clinics can assist with direct oral anticoagulant selection, minimize bleeding risks, and encourage medication adherence.
