Our Team is conducting a project to reduce the use of blood thinners to prevent blood clots in the hospital setting. Our project will track the number of patients who receive blood thinners and how many doses they received after making some changes to hospital prescribing procedures.

We are seeking a patient partner to share their experience of receiving blood thinner injections while in hospital. We will simply be conducting an interview either over the telephone or via Zoom. We would like to conduct this interview prior to June 2025. While this project will inform a Physician Quality Improvement project specific to at UHNBC in Prince George, we are seeking patient partners from anywhere across the province to share their experience of receiving blood thinner injections while in hospital.
