Enloe's
Anticoagulation Clinic received the 2004 Roche DREAM Award for
Excellence, one of just two recipients in California.
Anticoagulation Clinic
Nurse practitioners and registered nurses at Enloe Medical Center's
Anticoagulation Clinic work under the direction of each patient's
physician to provide safe, therapeutic care of those on anticoagulant
medication.
We help patients maintain an optimal level of anticoagulation,
preventing too little or too much thinning of the blood. Patients
who benefit from the clinic include those with atrial
fibrillation; mechanical
heart valves; or those who have had deep vein thrombosis, a
pulmonary embolism or other forms of blood clots. Patients must
be referred by a physician.
Comprehensive approach
Scheduled visits at our clinic include:
- Assessment
- Education for the patient and family
- Dosage adjustment
- Lab testing using finger-stick technology
Recognized for excellence
Enloe's Anticoagulation Clinic received a 2004 Roche Dream Award
for Excellence in Anticoagulation Management. Roche Diagnostics
gives the award for excellence in helping patients manage anticoagulation
medications. Our clinic was the only hospital-affiliated program
in California, and one of only 200 clinics out of 10,000 candidates
in the nation, to be awarded.
