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

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anticoagulation and thrombocytopenia are common among patients with cancer.

Objectives

Multiple interventions were implemented to reduce nursing noncompliance with anticoagulation platelet parameter orders in adult patients and increase the percentage of orders with specified hold parameters.

Methods

Hold parameters and pop-up alerts were implemented in the electronic health record to reduce administration noncompliance.

Findings

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
