daily INR inpatient ?

Good day all !

We are looking at our INR > 5 scores and they are meh.

One of the ways we monitor warfarin patients is through daily INR while inpatient.
There is some conversation to move that daily to weekly.
Can you tell me what your policy or procedure is for warfarin monitoring ?
Do you do daily INR checks while inpatient ?

thanks !
Laura
