Tumor Staging and Regimen Selection
When staging a patient in iKnowMed, the oncologist is prompted to answer questions that are relevant to the patient’s particular cancer. Based on the information provided, iKnowMed’s robust decision-support engine can automatically recommend the stage for each patient according to AJCC staging criteria. iKnowMed then uses this information to identify appropriate regimen treatment options driven by the specified guidelines.
Oncology-Specific Regimen Library
iKnowMed provides immediate access to a robust, up-to-date library of over 400 referenced chemotherapy protocols that are based on peer-reviewed literature and FDA-approved indications. Additionally, all regimens are evaluated for their emetogenic and neutropenic fever potential and select supportive-care medications are included in the regimen.
Chemotherapy Ordering
iKnowMed automates chemotherapy dosing, ordering, and scheduling in the patient chart, making orders easier to read, manage, and administer for the infusion staff. iKnowMed also incorporates the documentation for admixture and administration of chemotherapy, including accounting for the supplies and drugs dispensed and billable waste.
Nursing Documentation
With iKnowMed, nurses are able to document infusion visits electronically, view lab results in the flowsheet, document start and stop times for each medication, and easily enter patient assessment details. When changes are made to the regimen schedule due to out-of-range lab values or a scheduling conflict, iKnowMed guides the clinician through the update process, creating a complete and concise audit trail.
Charting
iKnowMed provides patient information in a single-screen view. This allows for quick referencing of the patient’s diagnosis, last visits, lab results trending, and prior and future treatment information all on the same screen.
E-Prescribing
E-Prescribe is available to all iKnowMed customers. Recognizing the importance of e-prescribing capabilities in physician practices, the iKnowMed e-prescribing solution is fully integrated.
Reporting Center
The iKnowMed Reporting Center harnesses clinical data captured at the point of care to generate a variety of reports designed to reveal valuable information about the practice. With this data, practice management and staff can identify trends that can be leveraged to enhance the practice’s clinical and financial performance.
