- Outpatient Tinzaparin and Enoxaparin Dose Banding (Adults)
As of June 17, 2025, tinzaparin and enoxaparin weight-based dose banding will be applied to adult outpatient prescriptions in Connect Care. When prescribing these medications during an outpatient encounter, please review the final dose before signing the order to ensure the banded dose aligns with clinical intent.
- Dose banding applies to weight-based doses only (e.g., units/kg or mg/kg) and can be overridden any time by prescribing a dose in “units” or “mg” or changing the banded dose to a “units” or “mg” dose.
- This change has been made to preferentially select for prefilled syringes, and to resolve a long-standing issue where an inpatient dose may be different than the dose calculated on discharge. Inpatient dose banding has been in place for several years and is endorsed by AHS working partners and leadership.
Please see the memo for specific information on the banding parameters for outpatient tinzaparin and enoxaparin, and the tip for more information on dose banding:
