Anticoagulant Patient Resources

Anticoagulant Service

While our clinic is not available to visit physically, our clinic staff is available by phone at (734) 998-6944 OR 1 (866) 443-6144 between the hours of Monday through Friday, 8am – 5pm,  to discuss any concerns or problems related to a patient’s anticoagulant medication.

Patients may be referred to the Anticoagulation Service by any physician provider of the University of Michigan Health System. Patients are paired with a nurse or pharmacist anticoagulation specialist who will work alongside the patient’s physician to offer comprehensive anticoagulation-related care.

About the Michigan Anticoagulation Quality Improvement Initiative (MAQI2)

U-M is a part of the Michigan Anticoagulation Quality Improvement Initiative (MAQI2), a consortium of anticoagulation clinics and experts from across the state committed to improving the quality of anticoagulation care. One of the MAQI2 efforts is to provide comprehensive information about anticoagulant therapy, including an Anticoagulation Toolkit (see below) that addresses frequently asked questions and concerns.

The Anticoagulation Toolkit

The Anticoagulation Toolkit is an online resource produced by the Michigan Anticoagulation Quality Improvement Initiative (MAQI2). Funding for MAQI2 is provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield and Blue Care Network of Michigan through the Collaborative Quality Improvement (CQI) program. The goal of the toolkit is to provide practitioners and patients with an up-to-date, reliable, and easy to use source of information for anticoagulation. For more information about the toolkit and the related resources below, visit the Anticoagulation Toolkit website.
