Pre-admission orders containing chemo that are written more than four (4) days in advance are flagged for resign on the fourth day. These orders must be reviewed and re-signed by an Attending Oncologist before they can be activated. If not activated on the expected date of admission, pre-admission chemo orders expire and are purged from the patient record at midnight. To update the expected date of admission and prevent expiration, see Changing the Admission Date.
