The Mary Washington Hospital Anticoagulation Clinic offers patients a convenient location with state of the art care. Our clinic is staffed by clinical pharmacists who use the point-of-care method. Patients no longer get needle sticks in the arm and there is no waiting for results or dosage changes. Patients are scheduled for INR/PT checks on a weekly to six week rotation. The clinical pharmacists determine a patient’s Coumadin® therapy based on the patient’s interview and INR/PT result. The interview focuses on medication changes, illness, diet and other factor influencing warfarin therapy. We also encourage patients to call us with changes in health, diet, and/or medications allowing clinic staff to care for the patient and their warfarin therapy. The benefit for the physician is elimination of time consuming in office management of patients on warfarin therapy. The clinic has been in operation since 1996 switching to the point-of-care method in 2001. The Anticoagulation Clinic also provides referring physicians with updates every 6 months. The update includes INR results, dosing information and events report. Physicians interested in referring to the Anticoagulation Clinic may call us at 540.741.1108.
