Coumadin Clinic

Illinois Heart and Vascular patients have the opportunity to have their Coumadin (warfarin) therapy monitored at any IHAV office. Patients are phoned with their PT/INR results and dose instructions the day lab results are received. In-office PT/INR testing is also available.

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
