Sentinel Event Alert DOACs Process Improvement

Good Evening-

Our organization is working through the Sentinel Event Alert surrounding direct oral anticoagulants. I am curious to see what process improvement metrics other organizations are using to improve the safety of DOACs.

“Evaluate anticoagulation safety practices, and take actions to improve safety practices and measure the effectiveness of those actions in a time frame determined by the organization. Set goals to improve measures, such as reducing therapeutic duplication and bleeding events or increasing compliance with protocols or guidelines for perioperative management of patients on oral anticoagulants.”
