Nationwide Implementation of a Population Management Dashboard for Monitoring Direct Oral Anticoagulants: Insights From the Veterans Affairs Health System.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Direct oral anticoagulants are first-line therapy for common thrombotic conditions, including atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. Despite their strong efficacy and safety profile, evidence-based prescribing can be challenging given differences in dosing based on indication, renal function, and drug-drug interactions. The Veterans Health Affairs developed and implemented a population management dashboard to support pharmacist review of anticoagulant prescribing. The dashboard includes information about direct oral anticoagulants and dose prescribed, renal function, age, and weight, potential interacting medications, and the need for direct oral anticoagulant medication refills. It is a stand-alone system.
