Medication Therapy Management: Anticoagulation Services

For your patients on anticoagulation therapy, including warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), Premier Health partners with you to offer pharmacist-managed medication therapy management services. Our goals are to streamline care and to help ensure safe and successful management of your patient’s anticoagulation therapy, following current anticoagulation guidelines.
