| Abstract | Background Direct oral anticoagulant medications are commonly used to treat or prevent thrombotic conditions, such as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and atrial fibrillation. However, up to 10–15% of patients receiving these medications get unsafe doses based on a patient’s kidney or liver function, potential interactions with other medications, and indication for taking the medication. Alert systems may be beneficial for improving evidence-based prescribing, but can be burdensome and are not currently able to provide monitoring after the initial prescription is written. Methods/design This study will improve upon existing alert systems by testing novel medication alerts that encourage collaboration between prescribers (e.g., physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) and expert pharmacists working in anticoagulation clinics. The study will also improve upon the existing alert system by incorporating dynamic long-term monitoring of patient needs and encouraging collaboration between prescribers and expert pharmacists working in anticoagulation clinics. Incorporating state-of-the-art user-centered design principles, prescribing healthcare providers will be randomized to different types of electronic health record medication alerts when a patient has an unsafe anticoagulant prescription. We will identify which alerts are most effective at encouraging evidence-based prescribing and will test moderators to tailor alert delivery to when it is most beneficial. The aims of the project are to (1) determine the effect of notifications targeting existing inappropriate DOAC prescriptions; (2) examine the effect of alerts on newly prescribed inappropriate DOACs; and (3) examine changes in the magnitude of effects over time for both the new prescription alerts and existing prescription notifications for inappropriate DOACs over the 18-month study period. Discussion Findings from this project will establish a framework for implementing prescriber-pharmacist collaboration for high-risk medications, including anticoagulants. If effectively implemented at the more than 3000 anticoagulation clinics that exist nationally, hundreds of thousands of patients taking direct oral anticoagulants stand to benefit from safer, evidence-based healthcare.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
