Abstract
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are widely used in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. As both research and real-world evidence on these drugs continue to emerge, new indications and insights provide opportunities to personalize DOAC therapy for individual patients. Knowledge gaps about DOACs remain a challenge that nurse practitioners (NPs) face in acute and primary care settings, resulting in lack of adherence, inappropriate dosing, or suboptimal anticoagulation. We created a mnemonic strategy to guide NPs to make benefit–risk assessments, better understand the differences between these drugs, and safely tailor DOAC therapy for their patients.
