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 the Vision+ Practice Reports main screen select Warfarin.

   

2. Select Warfarin Monitor .
3. The Warfarin Monitor screen displays:

   

4. From Home - Letters the patients details can be mail merged into letter templates to be sent to selected patients in the list.

5. Select Scan Patients to produce a list of all patients who are currently being prescribed Warfarin but do not display on the Warfarin Monitor list as they do not have a current Indication recorded.

   • Patient Name and Sex
   • Active - The active box is ticked if the patient has a current Diagnosis Indication.
