These guidelines were developed to serve as a tool for physicians and other healthcare professionals to help with the management of anticoagulation. They should in no way be used to replace clinical judgment. We are not responsible for any adverse medical outcomes as such responsibility lies with the treating physician. The Hematology or Thrombosis consult services can always be consulted for specific patients with more complex needs. Pharmacy can be consulted as well for help with dosing and monitoring of anticoagulant medications.
