We developed a computer application to support the ordering of chemotherapy. Key goals were to guard against errors in chemotherapy ordering and dosing, to, coordinate the outpatient and inpatient chemotherapy services, and to support the overall process flow of a chemotherapy cycle. In a six-month period, 512 daily-dose and 386 weekly-dose warnings were generated; 167 (19%) resulted in a cancellation or re-evaluation of the dose. The system has been well accepted, and has helped to coordinate the efforts of the many members of the oncology care team.
