Chemotherapy Order Management — IntelliDose automates chemotherapy order management and safeguards against dosing errors. The system reduces risks, saves time, and tracks therapy and associated costs. Automatic safety checking algorithms watch for route-of-administration errors, omission mistakes, body surface area limitations, patient allergies, and exceptional lab results.
Drug Database
IntelliDose houses a comprehensive drug database with over 3000 prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Approximately 250 of the drugs most likely to be used in an oncology practice have dose limits, contraindications, compatible fluids, administration instructions, and billing/reimbursement information.
Template-Based Order Sets
The basis of IntelliDose order writing are treatment templates organized in cycles to produce a complete plan of treatment. Entire multi-cycle treatment plans can be built for virtually all levels of complexity related to poly-chemotherapy, supportive agents, laboratory studies, and schedules. Continuous infusion and oral medications are also included.
Order Writing
As orders are written, doses are automatically calculated using patient metrics. Dosing variables such as ideal weight, serum creatinine, and creatinine clearance (when applicable) are seamlessly reviewed on the screen. Dose modifications are easily made and clinical reasons stored. The integrity of the order is checked for dose exceptions, drug and allergy contraindications, and abnormal lab values. The end result is a comprehensive and legible order.
Drug Safety Checks
Additional layers of safety checks are included as orders are written. Single-dose, relative dose, and cumulative doses are checked, and user alerts are provided. Secondary alerts and hard stops are additional options to provide greater control. Cumulative dose limits are stored for reference in the patient record.
Patient Documentation and Reporting
IntelliDose generates order sets in seconds with point-and-click simplicity. Automatic flow charts keep track of all the necessary variables for proper dose judgments. Patient education information can also be printed directly from IntelliDose.
