New Oral Anticoagulants:
New Patient Safety Challenges

 

Session Overview

Dr. Alan Jacobson is a pioneer and leader in the field of anticoagulation management, having implemented innovative strategies within the VA system to improve anticoagulation management and dramatically reducing risk with out-of-range INR and complications associated with anticoagulation therapy.

Dr. Jacobson will address the challenges associated with the new therapeutic drugs, which require less monitoring, but bring new risks. There are new lessons being learned that can help keep patients safer when these innovative new medications are being used.

Following his presentation, a reactor panel will discuss the new information shared by Dr. Jacobson.

We offer these online webinars at no cost to our participants.
