House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2020-)

At Thomas Jefferson University Hospital patients who require heparin infusions are monitored either by nursing alone or the resident and the nurse together.

This project aims to determine:

  2. Are patients therapeutic longer under a certain protocol?
  3. Do more patients under either protocol suffer from bleeding complications?
