title: Home blood anticoagulant monitoring--a physician alliance result.
abstract: Developing relationships with physicians can yield more than just a better relationship; it can directly impact an agency's ability to expand into new service areas. The alliance between the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Massachusetts and Dr. Jack Ansell led to the creation of the agency's highly successful home blood anticoagulant monitoring, a service that the growing number of cardiac patients in the United States will demand.
