DOAC prescribing, made simple.

AF Advisor is a clinical decision support tool that makes complex anticoagulation prescribing decisions clearer.
Embedded within EMIS Web®, it analyses patient information and provides timely, patient-specific guidance to help you prescribe direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) safely and efficiently.
1.4 million people in England are estimated to be living with atrial fibrillation.
Make every decision count
Atrial fibrillation can significantly increase a person’s risk of stroke. Choosing the right anticoagulant and prescribing it at the appropriate dose is essential - but working through risk scores, guidance and prescribing thresholds can take valuable time.
AF Advisor brings the essential information together within the existing EMIS Web workflow.
The right guidance – right when you need it
When treating a patient with atrial fibrillation, you’ll receive an alert directly within EMIS Web. There’s no separate system to open or guidance to search for manually.
25% of patients in one study received an inappropriate DOAC dose – highlighting the need for clear, patient-specific prescribing support.
Support safer prescribing
AF Advisor analyses relevant information in the patient record to present calculated risk scores, appropriate anticoagulant options and prescribing thresholds. This helps you make informed anticoagulation decisions and support stroke prevention.
What is AF Advisor?
AF Advisor is a clinical decision-support tool embedded within EMIS Web. It helps clinicians assess stroke and bleeding risk and make safer, more informed decisions when prescribing DOACs for patients with atrial fibrillation.
How does AF Advisor support DOAC prescribing?
AF Advisor analyses relevant information held within the patient record. It presents calculated risk scores, appropriate anticoagulant options and prescribing thresholds, all within EMIS Web. This reduces the need to consult dosage guidance manually.
Does AF Advisor replace clinical judgement?
No. AF Advisor is designed to support, not replace, clinical judgement. It brings relevant patient information and prescribing guidance together to help clinicians make informed decisions at the point of care.
How can AF Advisor help improve atrial fibrillation care?
AF Advisor can help reduce the risk of DOAC dosing errors, save time when reviewing prescribing guidance and support safer anticoagulation decisions. In turn, this can contribute to better stroke prevention and improved patient outcomes.
