TY - GEN AB - Chemotherapy, the prescription and administration of drugs to cancer patients, has traditionally been prescribed according to standard protocols through paper-based systems. Given the complexity of existing protocols, multiple errors can occur during the paper-based prescription, leading to potentially serious consequences. To alleviate the problem, several recommendations have been published suggesting the use of computerized prescribing systems that have several advantages. The goal of the proposed project is to create safe and standardized chemotherapy prescription software and evaluate it for its effectiveness, efficiency and usability when compared to the current paper-based chemotherapy ordering system.
