Anticoagulation and Stroke Prevention
Care Pathways/CDS: Clinical pathway for suspected atrial fibrillation.
Care Pathways/CDS: Care pathway for management of confirmed AFib in patients. Includes information about underlying causes, treatment options, reducing stroke risk, and more.
Guidelines/Clinical Documents: Guidelines document outlining best practices for the management of AFib.
AF Agile Pathway – Emergency Department
Tools: Use the updated AnticoagEvaluator to make informed decisions on initiation of antithrombotic therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who do not have moderate to severe mitral stenosis or a mechanical heart valve. App updates include expanded advice from the 2019 Focused Update to the 2014 ACC/AHA/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients with AF.
Shared Decision-Making: Video demonstrations to support in-person conversations between clinicians and their AFib patients. Includes explanation of normal rhythm vs. AFib, stroke risk, blood thinners, and the WATCHMAN device.
Education – Clinical: Calculates stroke risk for patients with atrial fibrillation, possibly better than the CHADS₂ Score.
Tools: ManageAnticoag helps clinicians navigate periprocedural planning and bleed management scenarios for patients on oral anticoagulants (OAC).
Guidelines/Clinical Documents: Guidelines from CCS to inform best practices for clinicians across all disciplines while treating AFib patients. This document should be an important aid for knowledge translation and a tool to help improve clinical management of this important and challenging arrhythmia.
Guidelines/Clinical Documents: Guidelines document outlining best practices for oral anticoagulation in patients with nonvalvular AFib and a CHA2DS2-VASc Score of 1.
