Coumadin Clinic

At State of the Heart Cardiology, patients have the opportunity to have their Coumadin (warfarin) therapy monitored in our office with in office PT/INR monitoring and immediate results.

Each visit includes:

• One on one consultation with a Registered Nurse
• Finger stick PT/INR blood testing with results in thirty seconds
• Written dose instructions
• Free teaching materials and pill boxes

All RN notes and INR results are entered into a database that can generate patient and physician reports that include:

• Indication for anticoagulation therapy
• INR therapeutic goal
• INR graph
• Past and current Coumadin dose

Clinic statistics are tracked, including percentage of patients in/out of therapeutic range and thrombotic/hemorrhagic events.
