A computer program designed to manage the informational, clinical, and data requirements for a pharmacy oncology service is described. Specialized pharmacy oncology software was developed at Rhode Island Hospital and implemented in a multihospital, integrated health system. The software performs various safety functions, supplies on-screen access to pertinent drug and patient information, manages data, and assists in the product formulation process. The programmed safeguards can be modified to meet changing requirements. The system has been in use for more than seven years and has helped detect prescribing errors and prevent preparation and administration errors. A pharmacy oncology computer program streamlines pharmacists' work and helps prevent errors in antineoplastic drug therapy.
