Advanced Practice Programs in Hospital Pharmacy: Anticoagulation Management

Abstract

The Director's Forum series is written and edited by Michael Sanborn and Robert Weber and is designed to guide pharmacy leaders in establishing patient-centered services in hospitals and health systems. Another specific goal of this column is to address many of the key challenges that pharmacy directors face today, while providing information to foster growth in pharmacy leadership and patient safety. This month's Forum focuses on specific ways to improve anticoagulation managment in your hospital pharmacy department. This area presents an important opportunity for pharmacists to participate actively in improving patient safety.
