Newest Version for Patient Self-Management

This slide chart can be used as a protocol for patients to follow.  It is designed to carefully instruct patients regarding what doses of warfarin that should be taken as guided by the measured INR.  In addition, the slide chart is designed so that the patient is instructed to contact their health care provider at extremely low and extremely high INR so that the health care provider can analyze the clinical situation and provide advice.

Since the Anticoagulation Advisor slide chart provides physician-endorsed instructions for many dose adjustment episodes, patients will be able to make these dose adjustments without immediately communicating with their health care provider.  Patients should keep careful records and review these periodically with their health care provider.

The new slide chart and nomograms were adapted from the healthcare professional version, so that patients can easily follow health care provider prescription for warfarin anticoagulation.  This tool can assist health care providers to communicate thoughtful and reproducible warfarin dose adjustment recommendations with patients.
