Anticoagulants are high-risk medications in both outpatient and inpatient settings. This study compared two time periods, both before and after implementation of anticoagulant safety programs, to assess changes in type, severity, root cause, and outcomes of adverse events in hospitalized patients. Despite numerous changes in procedures and technology, adverse events increased in the post-implementation period.
