The INRstar Options menu is divided into several sections separated by tabs...

 

This options allows the setting of the maximum daily dose which INRstar will allow to be calculated and for which a schedule will be suggested.

This option allows the setting of the optional threshold above which INRstar will round dose values to the nearest 0.5mg.

Within INRstar, a Low Target is defined as any Target INR up to and including 2.9. A Target INR of 3 or above is defined as a High Target.
 For each patient’s INR value which is over the patient’s Target INR range (which is their Target INR plus 0.5), the amount of difference between the Target INR and actual INR is graded into bands. Against each of these bands the dose calculation parameters and review period values can be adjusted from the default values.
 For each Target INR above 3.5, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.9 the following parameters can be changed :
Omit days
Reduce percentage of current INR dose
The recommended review period for the patient
A warning message to be displayed to the clinician, should the INR invoke these conditions

There are 6 In Range INR stages which can be adjusted to suggest the recommended Review Period for cumulative consecutive INR Range values. The default review period values are 7 days, 14 days, 28 days, 42 days, 56 days and 70 days.

These settings can be altered  by the organisation clinical lead to comply with local guidelines. The maximum review period can be increased to 84 days.

This option allows the default tablet settings to be set for all new patients. Changes to these values will not affect any existing patient’s details.
