What does a clock icon indicate about a patient on the Warfarin monitoring list?

The clock icon on the Warfarin monitoring list signifies that the patient has been reviewed previously, but more than 12 hours have passed since that last review. This serves as a reminder for healthcare providers to reassess the patient's current status and ensure that their Warfarin therapy is still appropriate and effective.

Monitoring patients on Warfarin is crucial due to its narrow therapeutic range and the potential for significant adverse effects if not managed properly. The clock icon acts as an indicator that time-sensitive review is necessary, prompting the healthcare team to take action to prevent any complications arising from a lapse in monitoring.

By recognizing this status, providers can prioritize patient care and ensure that any necessary adjustments to the medication can be made in a timely manner, thereby enhancing patient safety and therapeutic outcomes.
