The role of clinical pharmacy anticoagulation services in direct oral anticoagulant monitoring.
The objective of this study was to describe direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) management in patients who were and were not managed by an anticoagulation management service (AMS). Subjects were patients with atrial fibrillation at the University of Utah Health (UUH) who received DOAC therapy. Results showed that patients managed by AMS providers were more complex and had more frequent encounters regarding their DOAC therapy than those managed by non-AMS providers. However, there was evidence of duplicative DOAC therapy management efforts. No difference between AMS and non-AMS groups in the composite clinical endpoint was detected.

Pharmacy research on health literacy can contribute to national goals and health care system improvements.
Three key points about health literacy underscore the articles in this special issue: 1. Effective health communication utilizes both the spoken and written word; 2. A number of health literacy tools can help pharmacists implement health literacy practices; 3. Readability assessments can be a step on a path toward more productive provider–patient communication.
