Designed to assist physicians in improving quality of care provided to their patients on anticoagulation therapy
The Windham Hospital Anticoagulation Clinic is an outpatient, ambulatory clinic that provides comprehensive care to individuals diagnosed with coagulation disorders and/or receiving anticoagulation medication.
Our clinic consists of qualified and knowledgeable pharmacists who provide optimized care to each patient through a collaborative practice agreement. We work together with you to ensure that you receive the best clinical and educational services. Our clinic provides point of care testing with INR results available in seconds.
Patients are assessed by anticoagulation care providers comprised of advanced trained pharmacists and nurses. A licensed physician oversees the activities of the care providers. An Anticoagulation Clinic Physician will be available for consultation during the hours of operation.
Ultimately, our goal is to assure that these services improve patients’ therapeutic outcomes, reduce complications of anticoagulation therapy, and reduce hospitalizations.
Patient education
Education is one of the most important aspects of successful anticoagulant control.
Verbal, written, and audio-visual patient information materials will be individualized and available for each patient. The education process should begin with a formal session involving the patient and any caretakers or family members that wish to participate. The process of patient education will be continuous and reinforced at every patient encounter.
Topics include, but are not limited to: Indication for warfarin therapy, administration, importance of INR monitoring, drug interactions, & monitoring parameters.
Conditions we see include
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Blood clots including DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and PE (Pulmonary Embolism)
