Proportion of Direct Acting Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) not prescribed as edoxaban by all Sub-ICB Locations

Why it matters: In January 2022 the NHS in England announced a national procurement programme for DOACs, which states:

The NHS England National Medicines Optimisation Opportunities for 2023/24 identify using best value direct-acting oral anticoagulants as an area for improvement.

Please note: OpenPrescribing.net measures also have a consistent way of visualising measures, where 'lower is better' and therefore in this case we show the proportion of DOACs which are NOT prescribed as edoxaban.
