Abstract

As COVID-19 started to spread rapidly in their community, a team of nurses at South Miami Hospital initiated a drive-thru anticoagulation testing process to provide safe access to care for patients on anticoagulation therapy, requiring Internationalized Ratio (INR) testing. This article describes the implementation of a drive-thru anticoagulation testing process and implications for best practices during a pandemic crisis.
