Figure I. Amikacin Extended Interval Dosing Advisor in CPOE.

Figure I

The patient specific descriptive data shown in Part 1 is automatically imported from the most recent measurements in the patient’s electronic chart. The provider then selects the Dosing Concentration in Part 2. After pressing the “calculate dose” button, the suggested dose and interval appear in Part 3, which can be changed. Part 4 offers the provider several monitoring options for levels and serum creatinine. After this, the provider presses the “submit order” button and amikacin is ordered. EID was the default CDS dosing regimen unless patients were older than 65 years of age or had a creatinine clearance less than 30ml/min. Tobramycin EID advisor (not pictured) has a dosing concentration of 7mg/kg for all indications, except for cystic fibrosis (10mg/kg).
