For the workflow needed before, during, and after the LOA to ensure medication continuity between the sending and receiving sites, see the guide (includes steps for prescribers and nurses/clerks).
Adding Oncology Orders to Inpatient Encounter
For the workflow for Oncologists whose patients with active Therapy plans (Clinic Administered Medication [CAM] orders) were admitted to hospital, see the guide.
Ordering Bladder Instillations in Connect Care
Once live on Connect Care, bladder instillations to be administered at CCA sites or at a Day Medicine site implementing Connect Care (Red Deer Regional Hospital) will need to be ordered by the urologist as a therapy plan in the Connect Care system. Faxed orders will no longer be accepted and CCA Nurses/Day Medicine Nurses will not be able to transcribe these orders into Connect Care.
Therapy plan conversion work will begin on October 11, 2022, whereby CCA Nurses will enter in the therapy plans; in Red Deer, this work will be done by Day Medicine Nurses. To ensure your patients’ orders continue to stay active and for your patients to receive treatment, you will need to review and sign the therapy plans. During the conversion period, we highly encourage you to take this opportunity to practice entering a few therapy plans while multiple supports are present.
To support you with this transition, please see the below resources:
