Underuse of appropriate tests, procedures, and therapies is a significant issue in hematology, resulting in negative outcomes for both individuals and populations.  This special symposium will identify three key areas of underuse in hematology and provide recommendations for addressing them:

  • Retrieval of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters
  • Use of hydroxyurea in patients with sickle cell disease
  • Patient education prior to anticoagulation

This session will encourage all stakeholders to incorporate strategies for identifying and addressing underuse into their quality improvement efforts.
