• Assist in identifying and addressing overdue office visits for anticoagulation patients, including collaboration with PSC, providers, and use of dashboards or reporting tools (e.g., Power BI) to support follow-up workflows.
• Support perioperative anticoagulation planning by gathering initial surgical information from patients and/or surgical offices, including completion of standardized intake forms and documentation.
• Coordinate mailing or distribution of surgery plans, educational materials, and medication samples as needed.
• Review hospitalization and emergency department notifications related to thrombosis or anticoagulation care and provide appropriate follow-up, including patient outreach, coordination of care, and re-education when indicated.
• Track and document anticoagulation-related events using standardized encounter workflows and templates, including review of outside records and CareWeb documentation.
• Provide anticoagulation education and reinforcement to patients and families as needed, including medication compliance, safety precautions, and perioperative instructions.

• Participate in ongoing review and maintenance of thrombosis and anticoagulation program documents, policies, workflows, and educational resources to support Anticoagulation Center of Excellence (AC COE) standards.
• Collaborate with pharmacy, nursing, providers, and administrative teams to improve workflows, identify care gaps, and support quality improvement initiatives.
