How is everyone approaching expectations for anticoagulant education per the National Patient Safety Goal 03.05.01? Our institution is rolling out nurse training on how to educate on anticoagulants, and our AC Stewardship group, which includes someone from Regulatory Readiness, wants to target all nurses, including those in perioperative areas (preop/PACU). The thought behind this is that patients who need to be bridged or hold AC may have been educated outside of our organization and we may not have documentation of that education for outpatient procedures.
