PICOT Statement Paper

PICOT

The PICOT statement for the change management proposal is “In the community-

dwelling adults who develop a DVT, is heparin therapy compared to Coumadin therapy more

effective at preventing a DVT reoccurrence within 6 months?”

• Population of interest: Community dwelling adults with DVT

• Intervention: Heparin therapy

• Comparison: Coumadin therapy

• Outcome: Prevented DVT reoccurrence

• Time: Six Months

Evidence-based Solution

Coumadin and heparin are the two blood thinners that act as evidence-based solutions to DVT.

Both therapeutic approached have been useful in treating and preventing the condition stated

within the PICOT Statement. Heparin is also useful during surgeries and related procedures to

prevent against clotting. Nonetheless, the change management proposal cites heparin as the

intervention that would remain useful in achieving the desired outcomes (Streiff et al., 2016).

The therapeutic intervention has been notable for the enhanced prevention and management of

both PE and DVT. The approach has also been useful in the prevention of blood clots occurring

following atrial fibrillation, blood transfusions, and dialysis. However, it still requires monitoring

with routine visits for appropriate management. Thus, this solution is preferable to Coumadin for

the short half-life characteristic as linked to time within the PICOT Statement.
