150911 - While waiting in the lobby of the Oncology Department, Millie saw

150913 - facilitate Neupogen treatment.
150915 -  ..
150916 - Barbara said that Denise is assigned to give Millie Neupogen treatment
150917 - today.  The meeting was scheduled for 1030, and Denise is now at lunch
150918 - until 1230.  Barbard advised that Denise was disappointed that Millie
150919 - coordinated Neupogen treatment, which Kaiser originally scheduled for
150920 - 1030, shown in the record on 080823, ref SDS 63 D28I, with Millie's
150921 - meeting the doctor at 1200.  Barbara asked why Millie couldn't wait a

150923 - Neupogen?

150936 - treatment yesterday with chemotherapy at 1130, cited by Doctor Rugo
150937 - during the meeting a week ago on 080821. ref SDS 60 4B4L  The 1030
150938 - time frame proposed for Neupogen in the Infusion Clinic presented a

150941 - after chemotherapy, reviewed on 070301. ref SDS 8 R15F
150943 -  ..
150944 - Of course adjusting the time of Neupogen treatment to meet the doctor
150945 - and to comply with medical requirements can be stressful and

150947 - this case takes about 5 mintues.
150949 -  ..
150950 - Barbara was not successful arranging for Neupogen treatment before
150951 - 1200.  The treatment could have been given before 1230, because the
150952 - doctor was about 30 minutes late.  The Oncology nurse said a nurse
150953 - from the Infusion Clinic could come to the examination room, and give
150954 - Millie the treatment, but evidently there wasn't enough time.
150956 -  ..
150957 - After doctor's examination in Oncology, about 1310, Millie walked over
150958 - to the Infusion Clinic across the hall.
150960 -  ..

150962 - asked why Millie missed the 1030 meeting?

150971 -  ..
150972 - Anne was also busy treating several other patients.  She checked the

150974 - with the Chemotherapy Order for Carboplatin received from UCSF
150975 - yesterday, and reported in the record on 080821. ref SDS 61 SF97
150977 -  ..
