I would like to network with organizations that have a low number of heparin events and/or have completed work to improve safety surrounding heparin. Our hospital is doing a comprehensive review of our heparin processes. Please contact me if you would be willing to speak concerning heparin. Thank you for your consideration.

Limiting the number of available drug concentrations is a standard strategy to decrease the potential for error. I am interested in those institutions that do not stock heparin in either the 10,000 and 20,000 unit/mL concentrations. If you have eliminated these high concentrations, what were the barriers you had to overcome? Examples: higher concentrations are need for dialysis machines or needed for SQ prophylactic doses of heparin in bariatric patients.
