Hi everyone,
Low Hemoglobin alert implementation:
I am asking to gather information on hospitals that have:
1)Implemented a low hemoglobin alert in their computer system to alert providers or nurses or other clinicians when patient’s hemoglobin drops a certain point
2)I would like to know what are other hospitals doing to prevent initiation of anticoagulant when patient has a low hemoglobin and if so what hemoglobin level does the alert fire
