Oncology Patient Fever - Low Risk Management
Document Purpose
SCHN is implementing a low risk febrile neutropenia management program allowing patients to be treated in the home.
The program will be offered to patients of the Kids Cancer Centre at SCH and Centre for Children's Cancer at CHW allowing patients to be treated in the home.
This document supports the assessment of initial suitability of the patient for home care, risk stratification and eligibility for home based care based on a clinical decision rule (AUS-Rule) tool to predict low risk patients suitability for home management.
