Coagulation Disorder

Alere Coagulation Disorder Management provides home-based management and support for patients who require anticoagulation during their pregnancy to treat an existing blood clot or to prevent a clot from forming.

Under physician direction, nurses visit patients in their homes to administer anticoagulant therapy at varying rates and achieve a patient-specific predetermined laboratory goal. As with all Alere Women's and Children's Health services, we provide extensive patient education, 24-hour nursing support and reporting to physicians and payers.

When prescribed by a physician, Alere's coagulation program provides:

• An initial home visit that includes home assessment and appropriate patient education
• Nursing support as required
• Provision of equipment and medical supplies
• Consultations with pharmacists experienced in the management of anticoagulants
• Detailed clinical reports
