How to integrate vital interdisciplinary information in a non-closed-loop system?

314 Background: History of hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) must be readily accessible to ensure patient safety while receiving chemotherapy. While documentation of HSR is a routine process, gaps are found in maintaining vital information amongst various stand-alone systems (SAS). Centralized documentation (CD) by frontline nursing staff in the Electronic Patient Record is key to reduce risk. Pharmacists refer to CD for HSR information when processing chemotherapy. We developed and evaluated a technology-based workaround approach as a possible solution to a non-closed-loop system. Methods: An e-clinical point of care documentation tool was designed and built for nursing data collection of HSR details within the Electronic Patient Record. Vital parameters necessary for “complete” HSR documentation were outlined in a cue card, including time of reaction, reaction drug, volume and rate of infusion, management, vital signs and objective symptoms, re-challenge or discontinuation, and patient outcome. This cue ...
