Durham VA Health Care System

Anticoagulation 1D Prime Clinic

Clinic provides patients with state of the art care. Our clinic is staffed by clinical pharmacists who provide care for patients on either warfarin or one of the newer direct oral anticoagulants. If on warfarin, patients are scheduled for INR/PT checks on a weekly to six week rotation. The clinical pharmacists determine a patient’s 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.
