Patient Status Alert 

Each patient currently being monitored for Warfarin should have a patient status alert on the home screen and below the patient demographics box. The 'Action' link or the symbol will take you to the 'Warfarin Monitoring'  template. 


Third Party Software

Many practices use a third party application such as INR Star or Dawn AC, You will need to check to see what is recorded back to the patient record as these may not record the same data that you can from the Warfarin Monitoring template such as the time in TTR.  


Warfarin Monitoring Template

By using this template you can easily record everything you need to as part of the monitoring appointment.  


This includes 'Time in TTR', which can be calculated by clicking on the 'Warfarin Monitoring Data' link top right on the template, this calculator will open.  You can use the customise button to add various ranges which you can then select from the 'Set range' drop down menu or you can enter a custom range. The 'Time in TTR' percentage can then be recorded in the Warfarin Monitoring template.
