New Sentinel Event Alert: Managing the risks of direct oral anticoagulants

Check out the infographic: 10 ways to be prepared to treat patients on DOACs:

Read the Sentinel Event Alert 
A complimentary publication of The Joint Commission | Issue 61 | July 30, 2019

Managing the risks of direct oral anticoagulants

Anticoagulants have been named second of the top 10 medications involved in error incidents causing death or serious harm. While DOACs offer ease of use to patients, stopping bleeding events in patients on DOACs is more complicated, requiring different strategies than those for patients on warfarin (Coumadin®) and heparin. Unlike the more widely available reversal agents for warfarin and heparin, reversal agents for DOACs are lesser known and may not be available in every care setting. Also, some DOACs have no FDA-approved reversal agent at this time. Therefore, bleeding complications can be severe if these patients are not assessed according to guidelines on the management of DOACs. Intracranial hemorrhage is the most serious emergent bleeding risk.

Ascension Wisconsin Libraries No Longer Circulate BLS / ACLS / PALS Books

  

Updated 6/2/2021

Q: Where can I find a BLS/ ACLS book?

As of June 2019, The Ascension Wisconsin Libraries no longer circulate BLS / ACLS / or PALS books for the following reasons:

• The new online program does not follow what's in the old (c2016) print books.  Thus, they contain out-dated information and may lead people astray.
• The most up-to-date versions of the text are contained within the online program.
• The eBook version is available to associates before, during and after they complete the online course.
• Life Support / Librarians are not on site to keep track of these books.  Many print books are never returned, or disappear without ever being checked out.
• The print books are no longer being purchased by Life Support.
• They are costly to replace.
• If you really want the print book, we recommend that you purchase your won copy through Amazon or other book supplier.  You'll get a better price that Ascension did.

How to find Patient Education in Other Languages?

Question : How do I find patient education in other languages?  NRC Plus only gives me English and Spanish. 

Answer:   Many of our licensed databases (NRC Plus, Clinical Key, LexiComp, etc.) offer patient education in other languages. 

For a complete listing, check the Patient Ed. in Other Languages tab on the Nursing Point-of-Care Tools or The Physician & Provider Tool Box LibGuides.   

These Guides are available through many of the EHRs around the state as an additional reference for Nurses and Providers.  Also available on the regional Ascension Wisconsin Library pages.   

• Note that there is one tab for Patient Education in English
• And one tab for Patient Education in Other Languages
• These pages include links and tutorials on how to find patient ed. in these databases.

NRC Plus includes patient education handouts in English and Spanish  languages only.

The example below demonstrates how to find a patient ed. handout in multiple languages through The Lexicomp Drug Reference. 

In Lexicomp, click on the Patient Education tab [See above].

        

On the left-hand side-bar, English is the default language, but if you click the down arrow, it will give you the choice of many other languages.

• Please be aware that not every patient handout will be available in every language possible.    Spanish is by far the most common, but other languages (like Hmong) are harder to come by. 
•  The left side of the Patient Ed. in other Languages page contains links for patient education in Hmong, Spanish, and other languages worldwide. 
• Keep in mind, whatever “outside” handout is given to a patient will need to be documented appropriately in the EHR.
