Automatically Staging a Cancer Diagnosis
1. In the Diagnosis and Problem List pane, double-click a cancer diagnosis to open the
Diagnosis and Staging window.
The Staging tab contains two primary sections, Clinical and Pathologic. You can use
them to stage the cancer based on both clinical and pathology findings. The N/A field
that appears in the two sections is inactive unless you are staging placenta or testis cancer
diagnoses. Also, your initials and the staging method automatically appear in the Staged
By and Edition fields in each section.
If a different staff member did the staging, click adjacent to the
Staged By field to open the Physician Directory. Then, select the staff
member.
2. In the Clinical group, click the T hyperlink to open the T Selection dialog box.
The T Selection dialog box shows the primary tumor staging options, along with notes.
You can open a dialog box for each of the staging criteria.
3. Select the Primary Tumor staging, then click Save Selection to close the T Selection
dialog box.
A message appears in the lower-left corner of the Diagnosis and Staging window. It
shows the T staging was selected and MOSAIQ cannot stage the cancer based on that
information.
4. Click the Lymph Node staging in the N field.
5. Type the Metastasis staging in the M field.
The Stage field shows the staging from the T, N, and M values that you selected. A
message in the lower left also shows the staging.
Manually Staging a Cancer Diagnosis
You can manually stage a cancer diagnosis if necessary.
1. In the Pathologic group of the Diagnosis and Staging window, click the Manually Stage
check box
2. Select the T, N, and M field staging values.
The Stage does not automatically appear, nor does a message appear in the lower left of
the window. When you save the staging, a message does appear.
3. Click the manual staging in the Stage field.
4. Click the method by which you confirmed the diagnosis in the Confirm field.
5. Select the HP Grade of the tumor(s).
6. Save your changes.
