Anticoagulant care in one urban group practice.
A system of supervising anti-coagulant care was introduced to a busy urban group practice. The results of the first two years' operation of this system show that there were 4.4 prothrombin time (PT) assessments per week, about half of which were performed on working patients. The system was acceptable to patients and practitioners and some unexpected advantages were found.
