Objectives

Medical Group Leadership

Responsible for operations to provide safe and effective management

• f patients who require anticoagulation.

The Ask:

• Support Anticoagulation best practice philosophy and operations
• Assure physicians and staff participate in iCentra “Go Live” training
• Allow for clinical staff to enroll patients into the protocol prior to “Go Live”
• Define a workflow for each clinic (POC vs lab)
• Identify a physician leader and clinical staff leader in each clinic and have

them attend clinical program quarterly meetings

Our Proposal

Maintenance (On iCentra and using the protocol)

• Laurel will hold quarterly meetings with:
• The appointed PPC anticoagulation lead
• Staff anticoagulation lead
• John Bracken’s team
• Clinical Quality Region Lead
• iCentra ambulatory workflow leads
• John Bracken’s team will train new employees

Models

Each Provider manages their own patients

• Point of Care in the clinic (preferred method)
• Utilization of lab services

Region Anticoagulation Clinic managed by APC or pharmacy services

Prescribing Warfarin in iCentra

Pre-populated Warfarin Orders can be added to your favorites.

Prescribing Warfarin in iCentra

Weekly doses will be managed in the Anticoagulation workflow, not the medication list.

Review your list to determine:

• Is this patient still taking warfarin? If not, remove the patient

from the protocol.

• If they are taking warfarin, does the indication warrant

indefinite therapy or perhaps are they a candidate for cessation (e.g. surgically provoked DVT/PE).

• If they require continued anticoagulation therapy and are

having a difficult time achieving a safe time in therapeutic range (TTR), can modifiable barriers to optimal anticoagulation be identified?

• Seeing patients with poor INR control more frequently is

associated with improving TTR.

• Among patients on warfarin with suboptimal anticoagulation

control, might transition to a DOAC be a consideration?

• A dedicated visit to address anticoagulation therapy can

improve quality of anticoagulation management.
