MHRA National Patient Safety Alert 14th July 2021 Inappropriate anticoagulation of patients with a mechanical heart valve

We have noted that searches produced by system suppliers require precise coding of the valve type in order to identify patients who may be at risk of inappropriate anticoagulation.
