Patient Education Handouts

Whether your patient has recently started taking warfarin or has been undergoing therapy for years, it’s important they are well-informed. We are committed to supporting your patient education efforts toward improving the quality of care and safety for your warfarin patients.

Alere™ Home Monitoring recognizes education as a process, not an event. The educational information we provide is a balance of sensitivity to patients’ needs with the ongoing requirements for clinicians to educate patients over time.

Feel free to print and distribute the below one page patient educational modules for your warfarin patients.
