Summary

This trial will test whether getting alerts about high-risk prescriptions from pharmacists, instead of doctors, will lead to more changes in prescriptions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Michigan Medicine providers with prescribing privileges in ambulatory care settings who prescribe direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) to patients aged 18 and older. Providers working in inpatient settings or those part of the study team cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests if alerts about prescriptions sent to pharmacists lead to more prescription changes than alerts sent to prescribers. It also examines if having a pharmacist referral option increases prescription changes when initial-prescribing errors occur.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on communication processes rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects from interventions being studied. However, changes in anticoagulant use could indirectly affect patient outcomes.
