Notes Scheduling Treatment Sessions with Incomplete Information
In some situations, you may need to add treatment sessions and schedule treatment
fields when you have no radiation prescription, or you have a radiation prescription
but no treatment fields. For example, the physician did not write the radiation
prescription or wrote the radiation prescription but not the treatment fields. Or, the
physician wrote 1 radiation prescription, but not the second boost/cone down
radiation prescription. In this exercise, you will add treatment fields that are not
associated with a prescription, then add treatment sessions.
1. Open the Diagnoses and Interventions window, right-click or press F4, then click
Add Tx Field without Rad Rx….
Opens the Treatment Field Definition dialog box. Use the Add Tx Field without
Rad Rx option when you have field information, but no radiation prescription
and you must schedule treatment sessions.
2. In the Treatment Field Definition dialog box, add field information for the new
treatment field.
Shows the new treatment fields separate from the diagnosis and radiation
prescriptions that already appear in the Diagnoses and Intervention window,
shown in Figure 57.
