Detecting signals of interactions between warfarin and dietary supplements in electronic health records.
This study detected signals of interactions between warfarin and seven dietary supplements, viz., alfalfa, garlic, ginger, ginkgo, ginseng, St. John's Wort, and Vitamin E by analyzing structured clinical data and unstructured clinical notes from the University of Minnesota Clinical Data Repository. There was a statistically significant association of warfarin concurrently used with supplements which can potentially increase the risk of adverse events, such as gastrointestinal bleeding.

Designing and implementing an electronic patient registry to improve warfarin monitoring in the ambulatory setting.
The researchers designed and implemented an electronic registry in conjunction with a complementary work flow that established an active tracking system leading to improved treatment monitoring for patients on anticoagulation therapy. For the cohort of the 357 patients in the registry, the no-show rate decreased from 31 percent (preimplementation) to 21 percent (postimplementation).
