I am hoping that the oncology community can help me. I am in need of information regarding the turn around times for receiving chemotherapy. I am interested in the amount of time it takes pharmacy to deliver the medication from the time it is faxed to them. Can my fellow oncology nurses please share this information with me? We are having issues with excessive times to receive the chemo from pharmacy and this is with both outpatient chemo and inpatient chemo. We are trying to streamline the process so we can receive our medication safely but in a timely manner.
Can you please include the size of the facility you work at? I want to make sure I am comparing facilities fairly.
If you have a great system for requesting your medications, can you please share?
