Chemotherapy process

Hello,

I was curious is others would be willing to share their process for physician ordering of parenteral chemotherapy and pharmacist order entry/verification, particularly if your EMR is Cerner.

Our process is currently to have orders entered electronically by the provider as a communication order (free text) and the pharmacists transcribes each order, a second pharmacist completes an independent double check prior to compounding. We are currently assessing this practice.

Thank you for your help!
