How Patient Safety Warnings For Chemotherapy Medications Work

Chemotherapy medications can also be calculated by using our BSA (m2) calculator with patient safety dose ranges reported in mg/m2.

Updated over a week ago

Instinct is equipped with smart calculators and medication safety warnings to ensure patients are receiving a safe and effective treatment dose.

  • When ordering a medication that has been set up in the Product Admin using BSA (m2), an additional dosage result in mg/m2 is shown (more on setting this up below).

  • A carefully designed/subtle warning is also displayed if the medication dose is outside specified ranges. You can always bypass the warnings by selecting ‘Ignore + Order’, if needed.

💡ProTip: If the patient’s weight changes, the dose will not automatically change. The mg/kg and mg/m2 dosage will change on the calculator but a human needs to verify/add the quantity on the Treatment Sheet for patient safety.
