Living with AVF or AVG

Webpage for the MAPPP app. Provides links to web-based, Apple App Store and Google Play versions of MAPPP app along with multiple patient education resources directly related to peri-procedural anticoagulant interruption. Surgery and invasive medical interventions increase the risk of bleeding, while withholding anticoagulants increases the risk of thrombosis due to the underlying condition(s) for which anticoagulation was originally prescribed. The clinical team must therefore balance these competing risks and make educated decisions regarding the decision to interrupt oral anticoagulation for a medical procedure and, if interrupted, whether to “bridge” anticoagulation with injectable anticoagulants, such as low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in warfarin treated patients.

This guide is intended to:

Assist clinicians in the simultaneous evaluation of procedure-related bleeding risk and underlying risk of thrombosis
Guide decisions regarding the interruption of anticoagulation and the use of anticoagulant “bridging”
Provide detailed guidance for drug dosing and laboratory monitoring in the peri-procedural period
Encourage clear communication between clinicians involved in prescribing anticoagulants and performing invasive procedures

This guide equips clinicians with information for treating chronic pain in adults living with a history of substance use.

Safer Medication Management for Better Transition of Care
SHM recognizes the importance of equipping hospital clinicians with evidence-based strategies to prescribe, document, and reconcile medications accurately and safely at times of care transitions.

Medication reconciliation, or med rec, is the process of compiling the most accurate list of medications a patient is taking to avoid dosing or other errors.

Take responsibility for med rec with your patients by:

Leading, coordinating or participating in med rec quality improvement efforts that incorporate best practices to improve patient outcomes.
Grasping key evidence-based interventions, such as obtaining the best possible medication history and effective discharge medication counseling.
Identifying patients who are at high risk for medication discrepancies due to the number and/or types of medications they are prescribed

This manual is designed to assist organizations in identifying how a resident will “trigger” for a quality measure based on quality measure specifications and the coding of the MDS 3.0 Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI).

This website contains the MDS 3.0 RAI Manual v1.17.1 and MDS forms, effective October 1, 2019. This version of the MDS 3.0 RAI Manual incorporates clarifications to existing coding and transmission policy; it also addresses clarifications and scenarios concerning complex areas. Since the preliminary release of the manual on May 20, 2019, changes have been made to clarify which assessments swing bed providers must complete; the definition of the “interruption window” for interrupted Part A-covered stays; the coding of item I0200B; and changes related to group therapy policies, as well as other corrections. Please see the document titled “MDS 3.0 RAI Manual v1.17.1 Replacement Manual Pages and Change Tables_October 2019” posted in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
