Background: Fixed-dose (FD) regimens of 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) may be effective for the emergent reversal of warfarin; however, the optimal dosing is unknown. Our institution transitioned to a FD regimen of 1000 or 2000 units of 4F-PCC based on indication.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to report our experience with FD 4F-PCC compared with a historical weight-based dosing cohort for warfarin reversal.
Purpose: To design and evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of a medication reconciliation workflow incorporating pharmacist home medication ordering.
Methods: Designed and implemented an admission medication reconciliation workflow that expanded the pharmacists' role to include an initial ordering of home medications. Performed a prospective, pre-post cohort analysis comparing preimplementation accuracy and efficiency data from inpatient medicine and cardiology patients to postimplementation accuracy and efficiency data from our emergency department observation unit.
