March 18, 2014—Weight-Based Non-Chemo Methylprednisolone (Ambulatory MGH, DFCI, NSMC)
Methylprednisolone dosed by mg/kg or mg/m2 is available for non-chemo treatments at ambulatory sites at MGH, DFCI, and NSMC. On selecting one of these dosing options, providers are prompted to enter the weight and height of the patient. This record is not used in calculations for orders for chemotherapy regimens and protocols. Chemo weight and height entry and verification are handled separately when writing and activating chemo and chemo-related orders.
