The Anticoagulation Service is an outpatient program of Staten Island University Hospital, which was established for the purpose of managing and ensuring high quality care to patients requiring anticoagulation therapy. Anticoagulants are the drugs of choice for the treatment and prevention of many blood-clotting disorders including venous thrombosis, pulmonary emboli, mechanical heart valves, embolic stroke, atrial fibrillation and certain thrombophilias, both underlying like Factor V Leiden and temporary, like surgery. The Nurse Practitioners, collaborating with their Medical Director, will manage the therapy with the patient. The Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are registered nurses (RNs) who are prepared through advanced education and clinical training leading to a Masters' degree and National Board Certification. They diagnose and treat medical conditions and therefore, provide a wide range of preventative and acute health care services to individuals of all ages. NPs practice in all 50 states. Staten Island University Hospital opened its state-of-the-art Burn Center in June 1998. The 10-bed unit admits nearly 700 burn patients a year, and has earned a national reputation for the critical care, surgical care, and long term treatment of burns. Imbued with the philosophy that a burn changes a life forever, Dr. Michael Cooper and his clinical team treat patients from the time of their trauma through the long and often challenging process of recovery with minimal disfigurement. Patients and their families benefit from emotional as well as medical support in the recovery process that strives to ameliorate the long term trauma associated with burns. The Regional Burn Center with its comprehensive team approach is viewed as a natural extension of Staten Island University Hospital’s comprehensive trauma services and utilizes a true team concept that includes anesthesiology, pediatrics, nursing, psychiatry, rehabilitation and pulmonary medicine.
