6 Royal Free London NHS. NHS Foundation Trust How we got there Undertaking a medication history and successfully reconciling medicines Involving patients in decisions about prescribed medicines and supporting adherence: Implementing NICE, NPSA & NPC guidance The benefits of medicines reconciliation on patient outcomes Improving medicines management practice at discharge from hospital Patient views on non medical prescribing/pgd cost effectiveness

7 Aim of Service Achieve and maintain safety and effectiveness Increase patient adherence and attendance to follow up appointments, Reduce over and under anticoagulation and prolong associated hospital stay Provide a comprehensive and individualised patient care Ensure continuity and improve communication, information and education for patients, relatives, carers and primary health care

13 NICE guidelines [CG180] Published date: June 2014 Interventions to prevent stroke Anticoagulation may be with apixaban, dabigatran etexilate, rivaroxaban or a vitamin K antagonist. Offer anticoagulation to people with a CHA2DS2VASc score of 2 or above, taking bleeding risk into account. [new 2014]

14 NICE guidelines [CG180] Published date: June 2014 Atrial fibrillation: the management of atrial fibrillation Treatment and care should take into account individual needs and preferences Patients should have the opportunity to make informed decisions about their care and treatment, in partnership with their healthcare professionals

O.D. B.D.

17 Doses for AF (see SPC for full dosing and prescribing information) Dabigatran 150 mg BD 110 mg BD e.g. if high risk of bleeds, CrCl ml/min, over 75 & considered a moderate risk of a bleed, over 80, very low body weight Do not add to Dosette box Ideally after food Interactions Potential for P-gp interactions, e.g. amiodarone, verapamil, quinidine, ketoconazole, clarithromycin, rifampicin, phenytoin and carbamazepine SSRIs and SNRIs increased the risk of bleeding in RE-LY in all treatment groups Concomitant treatment with systemic and ketoconazole, cyclosporine, itraconazole, tacrolimus and dronedarone is contraindicated 5

18 Rivaroxaban Rivaroxaban Interaction 20 mg OD If CrCl ml/min 15 mg OD Must taken with or after food Caution with strong CYP3A4 inducers e.g. rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine Avoid concomitant treatment with strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P-gp e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole or HIV protease inhibitors

19 Apixaban Apixaban Interactions 5 mg BD All patients with creatinine clearance 15-29ml/min should receive 2.5 mg twice daily of Apixaban. In addition if they meet two of the following criteria they should receive the lower dose: serum creatinine 133 micromol/l, age 80years or body weight 60kg Avoid concomitant use with strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P- gp e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole or HIV protease inhibitors Caution with strong CYP3A4 inducers e.g. rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital or St. John s Wort as they may lead to reduced Apixaban concentrations 6

20 NOAC clinic referral process Anticoagulation clinic accepts referral from within the organisation, GPS and external organisation EPR referral not on warfarin referral EPR letter referral

21 Referral requirement Patient should have base line of HB, LFT and creatinine levels at least within the last month If the patient has been commenced on the NOAC already please give the patient blood request form. Ask patient to organise the blood test to be done a week before they attend the NOAC clinic

22 Royal Free London NHS. NHS Foundation Trust Involving patients in decisions about prescribed medicines Communication skills central Patient involvement patients differ in how much involvement they want Patient perspective is different from professional perspective Information patients cannot decide on involvement and decision unless they have information

23 Royal Free London NHS. NHS Foundation Trust Perspective of guideline Patient s right to be involved in decisions about their care Patient s right not to take medicines Medicine-taking is a complex behaviour Patient s act according to their own understanding of their problem and the medicine, and the place of this problem in their lives. Dynamic process ongoing evaluation and decisions by patient

24 Royal Free London NHS. NHS Foundation Trust Increasing patient involvement Clearly explain the condition and the pros and cons of treatment.what does this treatment do? Clarify what the patient hopes the treatment will achieve Talk and listen to the patient and note any non-verbal cues rather than make assumptions about patients preferences about treatment Help patients to make decisions based on likely benefits and risks rather than misconceptions.

TE = thromboembolism 1 Lip GYH et al. Stroke 2010;41: Hart RG et al. Ann Intern Med 2007;146: TE risk

26 Foundation For the Service Adopting a safety culture Trained, competent professionals, supervised until competency is achieved Implementing policies, protocols, guidelines Auditing the process, investigating any adverse events and quickly learning from mistakes Revising guidelines and protocols in order to achieve safety and gold standards

27 Aim ;Quality must be seen from patient s perspective Access to service Working in partnership Right to be involved in the decision making process Patient s right not to take the medication Ongoing support via telephone support line Dynamic process

28 Medication History What is the relevance of medication history in patients on anticoagulation therapy? What does medication history inform the anticoagulation nurse?
