Anticoagulation Management Service at Atrius Health

The Atrius Health Anticoagulation Management Service (AMS) is led by specially trained registered nurses and clinical pharmacists dedicated to supporting safe and effective anticoagulation therapy, with a primary focus on patients receiving warfarin. We work closely with internal medicine, family medicine, and specialty providers to deliver coordinated, high-quality care.

AMS services begin with a referral from your clinician after you have been prescribed warfarin. Once you are enrolled in AMS, our nurses and pharmacists provide comprehensive anticoagulation education, manage therapy to meet your clinical goals, order and interpret laboratory testing, and offer guidance to help safely manage your anticoagulation around procedures or surgeries.

If you are enrolled in AMS for warfarin management, you may contact our team directly at 617-421-2922 for questions or support.

We also support primary care clinicians and specialists in overseeing patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), including apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, and dabigatran. We provide written educational materials for patients and clinical guidance and consultation for providers to help ensure safe and effective therapy.

If you have questions about a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC), please contact your primary care clinician or prescribing provider.

Our goal is to support Atrius Health in delivering safe and effective anticoagulation care to the patients we serve. Our mission is to optimize anticoagulation therapy while reducing the risk of both clotting and bleeding complications. The Atrius Health Anticoagulation Management Service (AMS) is recognized as a National Center of Excellence by the Anticoagulation Forum.
