The ACNA Procedure
The most appropriate anticoagulation dosing therapy is determined after our clinicians determine the patients risk of excessive bleeding versus developing blood clots. Each patient receives a physical exam, review of their medical history, and extensive education about their anticoagulation therapy and medications at their first visit. Follow-up visits are necessary to monitor patients to ensure optimum dosing throughout the time they are receiving anticoagulation medications, such as warfarin (Coumadin®).
Anticoagulation therapy can be managed for patients that might require dental work or surgery while receiving blood-thinning medications such as warfarin. Patients can be seen in our clinic, or our hematologist is available for consultations with physicians for hospitalized patients receiving warfarin.
- Individualized care for each patient
- Comprehensive education
- Written dosing informaiton card given to each patient
- Same-day management
- Ongoing communication with patient's own physician

The laboratory is strictly controlled for quality and accuracy. Our lab processes blood samples in less than 10 minutes. Once our clinicians receive the patient’s lab results, written dosing instructions are provided on a written dosing card, and are reviewed with and provided to the patient.
