Handing Previously Discontinued Chemo Orders

• Chemo meds must have scheduled days to be included in the order session. A chemo med with no numbers after "Day(s)" in the description is not part of the orders even if it is checked off.

• If an active chemo order from a previous treatment was discontinued, the scheduled days for the order were deleted automatically. You must restore the scheduled days to include the order in the current session.

• Click OK  to acknowledge the message.

• To omit the previously discontinued order, check the chemo orders list, and click to uncheck the line for the order with no numbers after "Day(s):".

• To order the previously discontinued order:

1. Check the chemo orders list, and click to select the line for the order with no numbers after "Day(s):".
