DokiTab's Hemodialysis scheduling matrix enforces hard serology isolation rules—preventing a patient with positive HBsAg, HCV, or HIV serology from being booked onto a clean ("negative") dialysis station and flagging overdue 90-day viral serology panels. - q: How does oncology EMR software prevent chemotherapy dosing errors? a: DokiTab automatically calculates Body Surface Area (BSA in m²) from current height and weight using the Mosteller or DuBois formula, computes exact mg/m² or Calvert AUC carboplatin doses, enforces cumulative lifetime anthracycline dose caps, and requires pharmacist + oncology nurse double verification before infusion. - q: Can DokiTab manage multi-session dialysis bundles and NHIA renal subsidies? a: Yes. DokiTab supports prepaid 3-session weekly or 12-session monthly dialysis wallets, NHIA/state renal coverage tracking, and automatic deduction of dialyzers, bloodlines, bicarbonate cartridges, heparin, and erythropoietin (EPO) ampoules per session. - q: Are Hemodialysis and Medical Oncology included in the DokiTab Free Edition? a: Yes. Both the Hemodialysis & Renal Care module and the Medical Oncology & Chemotherapy Suite are included at ₦0/month in the DokiTab Free Edition with unlimited clinician seats. ---

Dialysis and oncology infusion clinic software is a specialized chronic-care Electronic Medical Record (EMR) designed for repeating, protocol-driven treatments where small dosing or fluid-removal miscalculations carry life-threatening consequences. In Nigerian renal centres and cancer treatment clinics, DokiTab replaces error-prone paper flow sheets with automated Ultrafiltration (UF) dry-weight calculators, serology-isolated chair scheduling, and Body Surface Area (`BSA`) chemotherapy regimen verification.

## Why Generic Outpatient EMRs Fail Renal Dialysis & Oncology Units Standard outpatient EMR consultation forms are designed for single-visit acute complaints rather than multi-hour extracorporeal dialysis runs or 21-day multi-agent chemotherapy cycles. Forcing nephrology or oncology nurses to type dialysis machine parameters or cytotoxic dilutions into free-text SOAP notes introduces dangerous clinical blind spots. In Nigerian dialysis and oncology centres, three operational hazards occur when teams rely on paper flow sheets: 1. **Manual Ultrafiltration & Dry-Weight Arithmetic Mistakes:** Pulling too much fluid above a patient's true dry weight triggers severe intradialytic hypotension, cramping, and vascular access thrombosis, while under-dialyzing leaves the patient in pulmonary oedema. 2. **Cross-Contamination Risk Across Dialysis Stations:** Without an electronic serology gate tied to the Laboratory LIMS, a busy shift coordinator can accidentally assign a patient whose 3-month Hepatitis B (`HBsAg`) or Hepatitis C (`HCV`) screening has lapsed to a general-pool dialysis machine. 3. **Unverified Chemotherapy Dose Modifications:** When a breast or colorectal cancer patient loses 4 kg between Cycle 2 and Cycle 3 or presents with Grade 3 neutropenia (`ANC < 1,000/µL`), copying the previous cycle's paper prescription without recalculating `BSA` and checking lab gates risks fatal myelosuppression. ### Nigerian Clinical Scenario: 10-Station Renal & Infusion Centre in Ikeja Consider a 10-machine renal dialysis and day-case chemotherapy centre in Ikeja, Lagos running three 4-hour dialysis shifts daily. Previously, nurses spent 25 minutes per shift manually transcribing blood pump speed (`Qb`), dialysate flow (`Qd`), heparin boluses, and 30-minute blood pressures onto paper charts while tracking `4,000 IU` Erythropoietin (`EPO`) and iron sucrose ampoules in a separate notebook. After switching to DokiTab, weighing the patient at intake (`74.8 kg` vs `72.0 kg` target dry weight + `200 mL` rinse-back) automatically sets the `3,000 mL` target UF (`750 mL/hr` over 4 hours), deducts one high-flux dialyzer, bloodline set, and EPO vial from stock, and decrements the patient's prepaid 12-session renal bundle. ## Hemodialysis Module: Vascular Access, UF Telemetry, and Adequacy (`Kt/V`) DokiTab's Hemodialysis workspace structures every renal session into Pre-Dialysis Assessment, Intradialytic Telemetry, and Post-Dialysis Sign-Off—giving nephrologists a longitudinal view of dry-weight trends, blood pressure control, and dialysis adequacy. ### 1. Vascular Access & Serology Machine Gate - Tracks access type and maturity: **Native Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula** (thrill, bruit, cannulation needle gauge, buttonhole/rope-ladder site rotation), **AV Graft**, or **Tunneled/Non-Tunneled Central Venous Catheter** (exit-site inspection and heparin lock volume). - Enforces 90-day viral serology validity (`HBsAg`, `Anti-HCV`, `HIV-1/2`) and isolates dedicated machines by serostatus. ### 2. Intradialytic Flow Sheet & Adequacy (`URR` & `spKt/V`) - Logs machine prescription: Dialyzer model, membrane surface area, blood flow rate (`Qb 250–400 mL/min`), dialysate flow rate (`Qd 500 mL/min`), dialysate sodium/potassium/calcium bath, and systemic vs heparin-free anticoagulation. - Automatically computes **Urea Reduction Ratio (`URR %`)** and single-pool **`Kt/V`** whenever pre- and post-dialysis Blood Urea Nitrogen (`BUN`) results return from the HL7 Laboratory Analyzer. ## Medical Oncology Module: BSA Calculation, Lab Gates & Cycle Roadmaps DokiTab's Medical Oncology suite manages multi-cycle systemic therapy protocols (such as `AC-T`, `FOLFOX`, `R-CHOP`, or `Cisplatin-Gemcitabine`) with built-in clinical pharmacist verification and nursing extravasation checklists. $$\text{BSA (Mosteller)} = \sqrt{\frac{\text{Height (cm)} \times \text{Weight (kg)}}{3600}}$$ 1. **Automated BSA & Calvert AUC Dosing:** Recalculates `BSA` at every cycle check-in and flags `>= 5%` weight changes that require dose recalculation. 2. **Pre-Chemotherapy Haematology & Renal Gate:** Pulls same-day Full Blood Count (`FBC`), liver enzymes (`AST/ALT/Bilirubin`), and serum creatinine (`eGFR`) directly from the lab. If Absolute Neutrophil Count (`ANC`) or platelets fall below regimen thresholds, DokiTab blocks infusion sign-off until the consultant oncologist documents a dose delay or `20%` dose reduction. 3. **Ordered Pre-Medications & Hydration Sequencing:** Structures infusion administration in strict chronological order (e.g., `09:00` Ondansetron + Dexamethasone pre-meds → `09:30` Pre-hydration `0.9% NS` → `10:30` Cytotoxic infusion → Post-hydration flush). ## Comparing Paper Flow Sheets vs Generic EMRs vs DokiTab Dialysis & Oncology Specialized chronic care requires structured protocol math and consumable inventory control that generic consultation screens lack. | Chronic Care Capability | Paper Flow Sheets | Generic Outpatient EMR | DokiTab Dialysis & Oncology Suite | | :------------------------------------------- | :---------------------- | :------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Target UF & Dry-Weight Calculator** | Manual calculator | Free-text note | **Auto-calculates Target UF (mL) & hourly UF rate (mL/hr)** | | **HBsAg / HCV / HIV Machine Isolation** | Wall whiteboard | Standard calendar | **Hard serology machine lock + 90-day lab expiry alert** | | **Dialyzer, Bloodline & EPO Deduction** | Notebook tally | Manual cashier entry | **Auto-deducts session kit & EPO from FEFO stock** | | **Oncology BSA & AUC Dose Engine** | Manual formula | Manual drug order | **Auto Mosteller BSA, weight-change alert & lifetime cap** | | **Pre-Chemo ANC & Platelet Safety Gate** | Paper lab slip review | Unlinked lab PDF | **Hard clinical gate tied to live HL7 FBC & eGFR results** | | **Multi-Session Renal / Chemo Packages** | Excel spreadsheet | Single-visit invoice | **Prepaid session wallets + NHIA/HMO authorization split** | | **Software License Cost** | ₦0 (High clinical risk) | Expensive specialty add-on | **₦0/mo in DokiTab Free Edition** |
