MAQI2 Anticoagulation Toolkit vs First Trimester Bleeding

This mobile app provides healthcare practitioners with an up-to-date, easy-to-use resource for managing anticoagulation patients more safely and effectively. The content was developed by the Michigan Anticoagulation Quality Improvement Initiative (MAQI2), a Blue Cross Blue Shield/Blue Care Network of Michigan sponsored consortium of anticoagulation clinics and experts from across the state of Michigan, and is based on the latest guidelines and research.

The First Trimester Bleeding app is for CLINICIANS (not the lay public). It helps a clinician move through the complex evaluation protocols for women early in pregnancy suffering bleeding and pain. The app also reviews guidance on management of early pregnancy loss and ectopic pregnancy. The app answers questions such as: - what information and investigations do I need for a woman with early pregnancy bleeding? - how do I distinguish pregnancies which are viable, non-viable, and of uncertain viability? - what do I do if no pregnancy can be found inside or outside the uterus on ultrasonography (Pregn Unknown Location)? - when do I need serial ß-hCG's and when do I need serial sonograms? - for early pregnancy loss, what are my treatment options? - how do I use Misoprostol for a woman electing medical management of incomplete SAB? All information is based upon guidance in the medical literature and expert medical authorities. A great deal of materials are shared and adapted with permission from the Reproductive Health Access Project (thanks!). The app offers several direct external links to their materials for more information. The app is intended for family physicians, obstetricians, midwives, ER and urgent care personnel, and trainees like residents and medical students, and anyone involved in the care of early pregnancy. As educators and clinicians, we are interested in feedback and would be grateful for guidance on improving the tool.
