Epic Heparin calculator

Our institution has been using a heparin calculator integrated into Epic for several years, and it has proven to be clinically effective. However, we continue to encounter challenges related to the complexity of managing supratherapeutic and subtherapeutic lab values.

We are interested in learning whether other hospitals have implemented a more streamlined or simplified EHR calculator workflow. If so, would you be willing to share your approach or any tools you’ve found effective?
Thank you!
