Abstract:
The advanced practice nurse is uniquely qualified to act as a consultant and specialist in the field of anticoagulation at an acute care hospital. The advanced practice nurse acts at both a system level and a patient care level to improve anticoagulation with low-molecular-weight heparins, heparin, and warfarin through education, research, quality improvement initiatives, and patient care management.
