For many anti-cancer agents, doses are ordered by a formula dose (e.g. mg/m2, mg/kg, gm/m2). iKnowMed will calculate the dose to be given to a patient based on the most recently charted patient measurement on which the dose depends. In order to minimize the number of manual modifications that a user must make once formula doses are calculated, iKnowMed has dose rounding values set up for many of the commonly used anti-cancer agents (and some other medications). When these values are set, typical doses are taken into consideration as well as available vial concentrations or tablet/capsule sizes. If an oral drug is available in various sizes, dose rounding will not typically be set to allow for provider preference. Dose rounding will also not be set if the therapy is given as a flat dose.
