In an effort to simplify chemotherapy dose calculations and reduce the incidence of medication errors, a commercially available, general database management program was used to aid in the management of an active pediatric hematology/oncology service. The software was customized to include all medications used by the specialty practice, as well as some used in a general pediatric setting. After entering a patient's height and weight, the database rapidly computes and immediately displays the patient's surface area, appropriate intravenous fluid rates, and doses of antibiotic, chemotherapeutic, and other drugs. No prior computer expertise is required to run the program, which can be used easily by physicians and nurses. A database program similar to this can be implemented and customized easily for any hematology/oncology practice, and can facilitate patient care by reducing both the time and effort needed to order medications as well as the number of medication errors.
为简化化疗剂量计算并减少用药错误的发生率，我们使用了一个商用通用数据库管理程序来协助管理活跃的儿科血液学/肿瘤学服务。该软件经过定制，纳入了专科实践中使用的所有药物以及一些普通儿科环境中使用的药物。输入患者的身高和体重后，数据库会迅速计算并立即显示患者的体表面积、适当的静脉输液速率以及抗生素、化疗药物和其他药物的剂量。运行该程序无需先前的计算机专业知识，医生和护士都能轻松使用。类似的数据库程序可以很容易地为任何血液学/肿瘤学实践进行实施和定制，通过减少订购药物所需的时间和精力以及用药错误的数量来促进患者护理。
