Matthew James: Anticoagulation Errors – 5 Prescribing Red Flags That Lead to Bleeding

Matthew James, Adjunct Professor at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Anticoagulation Errors: 5 prescribing red flags that lead to bleeds.

  1. No baseline renal function before dosing a DOAC
  2. Drug interactions never screened at the point of order
  3. INR drawn but not followed up or acted on
  4. Bridging protocol skipped around a procedure
  5. Bleeding symptoms documented and not investigated

Anticoagulant cases turn on whether monitoring matched the prescription.

The chart shows what was ordered — and just as importantly, what was never checked.

Working a bleed or clot case?

I’ll flag the monitoring gaps that decide these claims.”
