Our Outpatient Pharmacy Clinic is staffed by experienced consulting pharmacists
who have worked with thousands of patients receiving anticoagulant therapy.
Our anticoagulant clinic team works in partnership with the ordering physician/provider
to ensure the patient's anticoagulant therapy is as safe and effective
as possible. Services are available for patients taking warfarin (Coumadin)
as well as direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), such as Eliquis, Pradaxa,
Xarelto and Savaysa.
During the initial visit to the Outpatient Pharmacy Clinic, the pharmacist
will spend about 30 minutes with the patient reviewing their medical history
and discussing the risks, benefits and purposes of anticoagulant therapy
and answering questions.
After the initial visit, appointments will last about 15 minutes. The frequency
of visits will depend upon which medication has been prescribed for you;
the reason for the therapy; medical history; and other factors. Generally
speaking, patients taking warfarin will be seen more often; those taking
DOACs require less frequent visits.
Depending upon location, patients may be seen in person or via a secure,
private telehealth visit.
Services are recommended for individuals who have:
atrial fibrillation (Afib) or valve replacement
pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
certain vascular conditions
or those with a genetic disorder that causes hypercoagulability, such as
Factor V Leiden.
Patients are seen by physician/provider referral, typically within seven
days of referral.

time to conduct testing, analyze results, answer questions, and explain
necessary medication adjustments.
