Hello,

I work at a large Academic Institution and we are trying to improve the way we monitor pregnancy for oral oncolytics for meds that are not part of the REMS process. 

I am looking to find out how other institutions educate regarding avoiding pregnancy and appropriate birth control when patients are on oral anti-cancer medications and they monitor pregnancy status in those patients. 

Thank you,

Heather Thompson MSN, RN, OCN
