Why do clinicians “underdose” DOAC therapy? Sara Vasquez teaches us that there are 3 main drivers! How to address these? #AntithromboticStewardship
MAQI2 data presented at #ISTH2025 shows significant cost reductions for warfarin patients in whom unnecessary aspirin was stopped. This supports the financial benefits of a key #AntithromboticStewardship intervention.
We love to talk about #antithromboticstewardship at #ISTH2025! Rumor has it that the ISTH Pulse Podcast might even be releasing a special episode on this soon....
#AntithromboticStewardship can have BIG impact in the long-term care and rehab setting, but often with unique needs! #ISTH2025
One Canadian team has audited their inpatient #AntithromboticStewardship efforts. About half of screened patients needed an intervention. And the impact has been sustained over many years! #ISTH2025
Are you thinking of starting an #AntithromboticStewardship program? Look to your antimicrobial stewardship programs for guidance/mentorship as they have a wealth of experience to share! You may even convince one of their team members to join yours :) #ISTH2025
What’s in a name? As we transition from Anticoagulation Stewardship to #AntithromboticStewardship in order to acknowledge the broader set of activities that improve patient outcomes, these two names will likely be used interchangeably. #ISTH2025
Dr Tafur highlights the four domains of a Key Performance Indices scorecard. This framework is helpful for evaluating and communicating the benefit of any system-level #AntithromboticStewardship effort #ISTH2025
Dr Tafur demonstrates an example of peri operative #AntithromboticStewardship by providing an electronic alert that automatically calculates the Caprini VTE risk score and pre-selects the option to open a prophylaxis orderset when appropriate (a behavioral nudge). #ISTH2025
Pharmacists can serve as the lynch pin of an #AntithromboticStewardship program given their expertise and ability to coordinate care oversight for large groups of patients. #ISTH2025
National coordination of #AntithromboticStewardship programs is a critical step for improving public health outcomes! #ISTH2025
Resources that provide dedicated pharmacist, hematologist, and other clinician time for #AntithromboticStewardship is the main barrier cited by Irish clinicians. Researchers needs to focus on clinical AND financial benefits of stewardship to justify financial/resource investment. #ISTH2025
Antithrombotic agents are the leading cause of drug-related harms in Ireland (similar to US data)… highlighting the need for structured #AntithromboticStewardship programs to prevent these harms. #ISTH2025
