Epic Heparin Calculator

We are in the building phase looking to implement Epic's Heparin Calculator.

We are being challenged with how to order a restart of a Heparin infusion that is not starting back at the initial starting rate based on the protocol. Clinical scenario examples are a heparin infusion discontinued for surgery or a patient transferred from a different hospital already therapeutic on a heparin infusion.

Anyone who has been using this calculator have any other insights or lessons learned before our go-live?

Thank you!
