When Less is More: How to Provide Less Anticoagulant and Anti-platelet Treatment to Improve Outcomes - On Demand 2026
Rethink bleeding risk: in this case-based course, hospitalists evaluate who truly benefits from long-term anticoagulation, apply targeted thrombophilia testing, and design plans to de-escalate from treatment- to prophylaxis-dose therapy. You’ll critique anti-platelet use when anticoagulation is indicated, discontinue unnecessary agents to prevent harm, and synthesize shared decisions that treat disease yet avoid major bleeding—improving outcomes now and after discharge.

Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, learners should be able to:
  1. Determine when to discontinue anti-platelet agents for patients who have an indication for an anticoagulant.
  2. Identify the optimal timing for de-escalation from treatment-dose to prophylaxis-dose anticoagulation to ensure high efficacy while decreasing the risk of bleeding.
  3. Recognize how to minimize use of "triple therapy" after drug eluting stent placement.
  4. Use thrombophilia testing judiciously to identify patients who do not require long-term anticoagulation.
