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.
International Normalized Ratio (INR) is the blood test used to monitor the thinness or thickness of your blood. If you take warfarin, your doctor will monitor your INR level at least once a month to make sure you have the proper amount of blood thinner in the body. If INR levels are too low, you are not being protected from blood clots. When the levels are too high, you are protected from blood clots but you are at risk of bleeding. Talk to your doctor about ways to help manage the proper amount of warfarin you are taking.
