Responsibility

At Standing Stone, our business is software development, but we think it is our responsibility to support our customers and the anticoagulation community at large by promoting the dissemination of scientific and clinical findings and fostering discussions that advance our field.

Improved outcomes and decreased risk can be facilitated by great software, but that is only one piece of the puzzle.  The clinical information built into that software and the judgement of the practitioner are critically important.  Understanding the most recent findings, the protocols that result in best practices and the science of our field benefits us all.

We hope that the ongoing webinar series that we provide will help the entire anticoagulation community.  Please pass along the information to colleagues and co-workers.  

If you have any suggestions for topics please let me know.  I'll do my best to find the right speaker or panel.

Happy listening,
