Description
The Anticoagulation Tracking calculator is designed to help clinicians begin anticoagulant therapy for patients by estimating the necessary dosage. The tool can also be used to track a patient's therapy over an extended period of time. Due to its robust design, Anticoagulation Tracking has a separate tab in the HTB within TouchWorks.
Data Fields
The following table explain each data field and it's functionality.
Fields that are carried forward will contain the same value from the last visit.
Fields that are required will be bright yellow with a red asterisk next to them indicating that they must be filled out to commit the information.
| Name of Field | Functionality | Carry Forward? | Required Field? |
|---|---|---|---|
| INR | A free text field to document INR value | Yes | Yes |
| INR Date | A date field | No | Yes |
| Goal INR | INR Value ranges that are considered healthy for the patient | Yes | Yes |
| INR Relative to Range | Where the patient's INR falls in comparison to their Goal INR | No | Yes |
| Indication of Therapy | Why the patient is receiving therapy | Yes | No |
| Indication Comments | Free text field for comments regarding therapy. Limit - 250 characters | Yes | No |
| INR Complications | Any complications the patient experienced | Yes? | no? |

Calculator Outputs
The Output table is a summarized version of the information entered. Towards the bottom of the output table, there are three buttons:
- Show Summary: This button can be selected at any point during data entry to view the summary of information in the output table.
- Commit: By selecting this, the information will be saved to the patient's chart and added to the flow sheet.
- Commit and Print: This button will save the information to the patient's chart and prompt the user to print out a Patient Instructions print out.
Anticoagulation Patient Instructions - Print Out
The print out is an instructive form the patient can use as a reference between visits. The print out contains the following fields:
- Date of INR Test: The date recorded in the calculator as the date of their current test
- Your INR Results: The patient’s current INR value
- Your Goal INR Range: The INR range they should fall into
- Total Dosage per Day: The amount of milligrams per day the patient should be taking.
- Patient Instructions: Any additional instructions given to the patient
- Next Lab Visit for INR: The date of their next visit.
