Melissa McDiarmid, MD, a former occupant of this office, has worked with ONS for years and persuaded them, recently, to make these materials available for free. I, too, was unable to locate the link until she sent it around

Where can this Handbook be obtained? Did not see it on their site, unless I missed it.

Yes, we have just instituted such a program. Our cancer center nurses, pharmacy techs and IV therapy nurses are all in the program; as well as some pharmacists.
The best resource you can use for developing a program is the Oncology Nursing Society’s handbook on Hazardous drug management.
There is a surveillance questionnaire; CBC ; Chem and U/A with micro.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Chemo Medical Surveillance
I am an Employee Health Nurse at a hospital in Oregon. Do any of you do medical surveillance for staff administering or handling chemo drugs?
If so, can you please describe your policy. If not, can you please provide reasons why.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
