AHAP Staff Challenge: National Patient Safety Goals
True or False: Anticoagulation is very complex. The dangers resulting from not reaching a therapeutic level, as well as the dangers of excessive anticoagulation, put the patient at extreme risk. Ensuring that patients and families understand the importance of compliance with both dosage and monitoring requirements is critical.
Training Tips: The AHAP Staff Challenge is the perfect way to regularly train your staff. If the challenge is a question, forward the e-mail to your staff. Once they answer the question, they will receive immediate feedback on their answers. If your staff doesn't have e-mail access, use this question in different, creative ways.
You can use the question and answer in:
• Posters
• Intranets
• Tent cards placed on tables in staff lounges and cafeterias
• Handouts or quizzes distributed at team meetings
• Reference binder available in staff areas
• Paycheck stuffers
• Newsletters
