Implementing Prescriber-Pharmacist Collaborative Care for Evidence-based Anticoagulant Use

The researchers hypothesize that existing-prescription notifications directed to pharmacists are more likely to lead to a prescription change than existing-prescription notifications directed to prescribers. Furthermore, the researchers hypothesize that the availability of a pharmacist referral option is associated with a higher rate of prescription changes for initial-prescription alerts that are directed to the prescriber at the time of initial-prescribing errors. Findings from this project will establish a framework for implementing prescriber-pharmacist collaboration for high risk medications, including anticoagulants
