Learning Objectives

Coagulation assays are screening tools, interpret with specimen quality, reagent context, and institutional reference intervals.

Explain INR as PT ratio adjusted by ISI for warfarin monitoring standardization
Recognize ISI is reagent/analyzer-specific, not a universal constant
Avoid inventing institutional INR formulas, verify local SOP
Distinguish INR use for warfarin from direct oral anticoagulant monitoring
