Studies show that if patients who are taking
anticoagulation medication are closely monitored, they are less
likely to suffer complications that could lead to emergency room
visits and/or hospitalizations.
Through education and careful laboratory monitoring by
fingerstick testing, this program at Beverly Hospital at Danvers
helps patients manage their anticoagulation therapy safely and
efficiently. We help patients identify many important factors
to consider while taking anticoagulant medication
including:
- Reason for taking an anticoagulant
- How the medication works
- Dietary considerations
- Safety issues
- How to identify adverse side effects
- Importance of regular blood testing
- Medication interaction
Nationally, programs of this sort achieve patient's time in
therapeutic range of just over 60 percent. Whereas the
Beverly Hospital at Danvers program has results that are as high as
83 percent. Yet another service that exhibits our commitment
to The Leading Edge of Caring.
