Antineoplastic Order Questions for Non-Oncology Services

Hello,

We are considering implementing order questions to guide non-oncology providers through ordering antineoplastics for non-oncology indications (eg. methotrexate for RA) or for continuation of oral chemotherapy. We want to include questions that require some sort of verification step (with patient/family, home pharmacy, or outpatient provider).

Have any of your institutions implemented something like this and would you be willing to share the types of questions?

Many thanks,
Lauren
