Warfarin Monitor Report

The Warfarin Monitor report displays a list of all patients who are currently having their Warfarin dose managed by the practice. At a glance the clinicians can see information such as the patients that are due to be recalled, the patients who have an abnormal INR result, and other useful details.

As the list is interactive, clinicians can view and record data to a patient’s individual Warfarin record without the need to open the patient in the clinical system. To display on the Warfarin Monitor list the patient must have an Indication recorded.

To access the Warfarin Monitor reports:

1. From Vision+ Practice Reports, select Warfarin:

   

2. Select Warfarin Monitor . The Warfarin Monitor screen displays the current list of monitored patients:

   

   Training Tip - From Home you can send letters to selected patients, simply select a letter template and then select Mail.
