Managing patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) can be complex, especially when it comes to prescribing anticoagulants. With evolving guidance and the risk of dosing errors reported to be as great as 25% in some studies, getting it right every time can be challenging, even for experienced clinicians.
That’s where AF Advisor can help, giving you clear, evidence-based guidance exactly when you need it most.
What is AF Advisor?
AF Advisor is a clinical decision support tool embedded within EMIS Web® that helps simplify and improve anticoagulant prescribing for patients with AF.
Using sophisticated algorithms, the tool interrogates patient records in real time and provides guidance at the point of care. When you open a patient record, you’ll receive an alert that presents key information, including information about:
- Stroke and bleeding risk
- Prescribing options
- Potential dosing errors
- Helping you access relevant information for faster, more confident prescribing.
What are the benefits of using AF Advisor?
- Support prescribing accuracy: helping reduce the risk of DOAC dosing errors with computer-aided dosing support and patient-specific guidance.
- Save time at the point of care: access key clinical insights, guidance and risk assessment information in one place.
Support evidenced base care patient outcomes: enable safer and more effective anticoagulation use, helping to reduce stroke risk and improve care.
