Standardization of technology is a common part of IT architecture projects. A standardized technology reduces complexity and offers benefits such as cost savings through economy of scale, ease of integration, improved efficiency, greater support options, and simplification of future control.
The PT and INR blood test measures the time it takes your blood to form a clot. Other names for the PT test are prothrombin time and pro time. INR stands for international normalized ratio.
INR (international normalized ratio) tests are important in helping your healthcare provider determine your response to COUMADIN. INR tests check to see how fast your blood clots. The INR test is primarily used to monitor warfarin therapy, where the aim is to maintain an INR in target range. Your healthcare provider will decide what INR numbers are best for you and may adjust your dose of COUMADIN to keep your INR in your target range.
