Abstract
An innovative approach to anticoagulation management during the COVID-19 pandemic was used at our center that allowed patients to stay in their vehicle while our anticoagulation advanced practice registered nurse obtained blood for point-of-care international normalized ratio (INR) testing while education and counseling were completed. A significant improvement in the median percentage of INR within the therapeutic range was observed among the patients who used the drive-through clinic. A small group of patients improved compliance to anticoagulation monitoring. Clinical care models, such as this clinic approach may improve patient compliance and adherence to anticoagulation beyond the pandemic needs.
