Anticoagulation Quality Improvement Project: Reducing Noncompliant Anticoagulation Administrations in Patients With Cancer and Thrombocytopenia

KTKaty M. ToaleRSRyan ScanlanJMJesni Anne Mathew

Key Points

  • This project aims to improve compliance in anticoagulation administrations for cancer patients experiencing thrombocytopenia.
  • Implemented multiple interventions within the electronic health record.
  • Monitored noncompliant anticoagulation events before and after the intervention.
  • Increased the orders with hold parameters for platelet counts.
  • Reduced average noncompliant events from 37 per month to 0.7 post-intervention.
  • Increased percentage of orders with hold parameters from 28% to nearly 100%.

Abstract

Preintervention, there were an average of 37 noncompliant events per month, which decreased to 0.7 postintervention. Orders with hold parameters increased from 28% to nearly 100%. Multiple interventions within the electronic health record increased anticoagulant orders with a platelet hold parameter and decreased the number of administrations below those specified parameters.
