Giovannie Jean-Baptiste, M.D., is Director of the hospital's Anticoagulation Service.
The Anticoagulation Service is an outpatient program at Staten Island University Hospital,
which was established for the purpose on managing and ensuring high quality care to patients
receiving anticoagulation therapy. The team coordinates the ongoing treatment or prevention
of many blood-clotting disorders including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary emboli, mechanical
heart valves, embolic stroke, atrial fibrillation and various hypercoaguable states.
Medical residents will have the opportunity to rotate through the Anticoagulation Service
during their month on the Primary Care block. During this time the residents have the
opportunity to observe the one on one interaction with the patient. The protocols for
outpatient monitoring of anticoagulation, including bridging patients with low molecular
weight heparin will be reviewed.
The multidisciplinary team includes the Medical Director, Giovannie Jean-Baptiste, M.D.,
the Program Manager, Maureen Howard, APRN, BC, and a dedicated group of nurse practitioners
and clerical staff.
Students have the ability to rotate through this clinic during their ambulatory care
rotation or primary care elective.
