SUMMARY:Anticoagulation Learning Circle
DESCRIPTION:THE IPRO QIN-QIO INVITES YOU\nTO PARTICIPATE IN OUR\nAnticoagulation Learning Circle \n\n\nAnticoagulants (blood thinners) are important for preventing and treating blood clots but are associated with an increased risk for bleeding.\nUsing anticoagulants safely requires a careful balance between risks and benefits.\nAmong older adults\, oral anticoagulants are the most common causes of adverse drug events (ADEs) leading to emergency room visits and emergent hospitalizations. Oral anticoagulants include warfarin and the direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as apixaban\, dabigatran\, edoxaban\, and rivaroxaban.’\nBleeding from oral anticoagulants resulted in approximately 235\,000 emergency department visits.\nOlder adults (≥65 years of age) were involved in approximately 80% of DOAC-related bleeding visits and 77% of warfarin-related bleeding visits.\nDOACs contributed to approximately 40% of estimated oral anticoagulant bleeding visits. (bit.ly/45EFF8v)\n\nThe Anticoagulation Learning Circle offers a forum for education and sharing of resources and best practices with a goal for all participants to benefit from the wisdom and experience of the group. \nJoin other clinicians and a subject matter expert in conversations focused on anticoagulation stewardship. \n\nThis Learning Circle will provide you the opportunity to: \n\nReview anticoagulant Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) and associated risk factors.\nDiscuss actual case studies from the practice of a specialist with experience in anticoagulation stewardship.\nUse a template Action Plan to assess anticoagulation management and evaluate outcome measures.\nPose questions about anticoagulation stewardship to a subject matter expert.
