La Red de Innovación de la Calidad de TMF, bajo contrato con los Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid, diseñó este paquete de cambios para proporcionar las estrategias para abordar los eventos adversos de medicamentos.

The objective of this study published in "The American Journal of Medicine" was to determine the clinical characteristics, types, severity, causes and outcomes of anticoagulation-associated adverse drug events from 2015-2020 (a contemporary period following implementation of an electronic health record, infusion device technology and anticoagulant dosing nomograms) and to compare them with those of a historical period (2004-2009).

This tool from the Washington State Hospital Association can assist hospital administration, quality and pharmacy leaders in improving ADE reduction strategies.

Hospitals can use this Tracer Tool to survey and evaluate their processes for adverse drug events regarding anticoagulants, with the goal of providing safe, high-quality patient care.

This checklist from the Anticoagulation Forum supports the Core Elements of Anticoagulation Stewardship Programs and will allow your hospital to assess key elements of successful anticoagulation stewardship efforts and high-quality patient care.

This checklist from the Minnesota Hospital Association/Partnership for Patients is designed for health care facilities to use to conduct a gap analysis of their storage, preparation and dispensing of anticoagulants.
