DMARD Patient Safety Dashboard App

Last updated

Share Print

The goal of the DMARD Patient Safety Dashboard App is to improve safe prescribing of DMARD medications. The DMARD Latent Infections Dashboard focuses on screening for latent infections (tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV)) prior to starting new immunosuppressants, and the Hydroxychloroquine Dashboard focuses on weight-based dosing of hydroxychloroquine.

This innovation is scaling widely with the support of national stakeholders. See more scaling innovations.
