Just wondering if any other Epic hospitals with Beacon specifically have worked out a way to handle the below scenario.
We have an outpatient Cancer Center and do little inpatient chemotherapy. A question was asked about how is inpatient nursing staff informed that an admitted patient was on chemotherapy as an outpatient and how they need to handle their bodily fluids, specifically urine. We talked about how the nursing header shows that a patient has an active treatment plan but it's hard for nurses who never handle chemotherapy to try and interpret what the therapies are, when they last received it, etc... One person brought up that standard PPE/precautions should be sufficient but we wanted to see what others were doing.
Thank you!
