Anticoagulation Services
Ridgeview’s Anticoagulation Clinic provides anticoagulation dosing and monitoring for inpatients of Ridgeview Medical Center and Ridgeview Sibley Medical Center through the Ridgeview Clinic system.
Anticoagulation services are provided in consultation with Ridgeview pharmacists as needed. The clinic provides anticoagulation drug information and education to patients, medical and nursing staff, and other members of the health care team to ensure safe and appropriate use of anticoagulants.

How Ridgeview’s Program Works
Ridgeview’s program is built around our patients and can be accessed one of two ways:
- Anticoagulation Clinic visit with a nurse at a Ridgeview clinic location
- Telephone-based outreach and consultation
This gives patients convenient options to help ensure a successful and safe therapy. Ridgeview uses standardized, evidence-based protocols, provides rigorous monitoring and follow-up from our staff. Home monitoring is also available for patients that qualify.
