The Anticoagulation Forum Turns 30!



As we enter 2021, we are so excited to celebrate our 30 years of education and impact. From the first newsletter in 1991 to the establishment of our Centers of Excellence in 2012 to our current work with the FDA on Anticoagulation Stewardship, the AC Forum has been a leader in the field. Our team of experts work to provide guidance and clarity on clinical best practices for multidisciplinary care teams with the goal of improving the quality of patient care.

Managing Anticoagulation During the COVID-19 Pandemic

AC Forum will continue to offer guidance on how best to protect your patients and staff while providing anticoagulation management during the current pandemic. Check back often for new updates!

IDEA Committee

In recognizing the impact of systemic racism on health disparities, the Anticoagulation Forum has established the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Allyship (IDEA) Committee. Through the IDEA Committee, the AC Forum will work to increase awareness and promote diversity in our leadership, membership, and programming. We hope our members will engage in this initiative to re-evaluate their current practice, reduce health inequities, and improve the quality of care for all patients.
