Low hemoglobin alert

Hi everyone, I am a PGY-1 Pharmacy Resident

I wanted to ask everyone about implementation of a low hemoglobin alert policy:

1) What computer alert policies or protocols do other institution have in place to prevent bleeding due to low hemoglobin levels when patients are initiated on anticoagulants.

2)If so what is considered a low level for the alert to providers and other clinicians

Thank you.
