Hematology-Oncology Typing Practice

This page loads the hematology and oncology pack: treatment-timeline and clinic note lines, pathology and imaging response reads, benign hematology workups, and chemotherapy and supportive drugs with doses. It is keyboard practice, not blood or tissue typing. Choose Hematology / Oncology in the Specialty menu or open a preset below.

What heme-onc notes are made of

Oncology clinic produces new-patient consults, a visit note for each treatment cycle, treatment-day checks, and survivorship and goals-of-care notes. Inpatient work adds admissions for induction, febrile neutropenia, tumor lysis and cord compression, consults for thrombocytopenia, anemia and anticoagulation, procedure notes for marrow biopsies and intrathecal chemotherapy, and discharge summaries. Infusion nurses chart port access, premedications and reactions.

The HPI is a treatment timeline: diagnosis, stage, biomarkers, each line of therapy and how the disease responded. The plan restates stage and biomarkers, names the regimen with its cycle and day (C3D1 FOLFOX), checks lab parameters, grades toxicity and records dose changes. Regimen shorthand such as R-CHOP, ddAC, 7+3 and aza/ven comes up constantly, and doses are written in mg/m2 or as a carboplatin AUC. Benign hematology is just as number-heavy: ferritin and iron saturation, 4Ts and PLASMIC scores, anti-Xa levels and factor activities.

What the hematology-oncology pack contains

The pack adds 1,008 items and gives extra weight to 547 existing general items, including the corpus's oncology and palliative care phrases. Its 455 note phrases cover treatment-timeline HPIs, B-symptom and toxicity review, node, spleen and port exams, staging and risk statements, cycle plans, dose delays and reductions, immunotherapy and CAR T toxicity, and benign hematology from anemia workup to VTE and reversal. The 100 report lines are what heme-onc clinicians paste into notes: RECIST and PET response, marrow and flow cytometry, cytogenetics, peripheral smear, pathology with IHC, and cardiotoxicity echo.

  • Proceed with cycle 3 day 1 of FOLFOX today, labs meet treatment parameters
  • Dose reduce oxaliplatin to 65 mg/m2 for persistent grade 2 neuropathy
  • Febrile neutropenia, ANC 100, MASCC score 18, high risk
  • 4Ts score of 6, high pretest probability for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
  • HER2 2+ by IHC, FISH HER2 to CEP17 ratio 2.6, amplified
  • Code status confirmed as DNR/DNI with the patient and health care proxy

Dosing covers 193 drugs, the most of the internal medicine packs, and chemotherapy strings name their regimen: oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 iv over 2 h day 1 of FOLFOX q14 days, or carboplatin AUC 5 iv day 1 q21 days with pemetrexed. The pack adds no doses for regimens that depend on weight bands, step-up schedules or local protocol, such as FOLFIRINOX and blinatumomab.

How to practice

With the pack on, roughly half of the draws are heme-onc items and the rest come from the general corpus, and the category chips filter both. A treatment-day note is Note Phrases, Physiology & Labs and both drug chips with the dosing slider up. Radiology & Path Findings alone gives response, marrow and pathology reads mixed with general report lines.

The Abbreviations toggle turns each pack phrase into its shorthand form, and this specialty compresses heavily: "Begin R-CHOP every 21 days for 6 cycles with intrathecal methotrexate for CNS prophylaxis" becomes "Begin R-CHOP q21d x 6 w/ IT MTX for CNS ppx". Keep it on for clinic and inpatient notes. Block mode holds the stream at each error until it is fixed, which is where you learn to type mg/m2, 7+3 and HER2 2+ without looking. Cascade lets mistakes pass and keeps the pace up; use it once accuracy is steady. Keep sessions to five to ten minutes on most days. AI Mode can be layered on any of these settings, and progress is saved in your browser with no account needed.

Common questions

Is this page about blood typing?

No. This is keyboard practice for the notes hematologists and oncologists write. It measures typing speed and accuracy on clinical text and has nothing to do with ABO or HLA typing.

Does the pack include goals-of-care and hospice language?

Yes. There are lines for code status, health care proxies, MOLST forms, hospice eligibility and referrals, alongside the general corpus's palliative care phrases, which the pack gives extra weight.

Can I rely on the chemotherapy doses?

Not for treatment. They follow standard regimen conventions so the text reads like a real chart, but they are practice material. Use your institution's order sets and a drug reference for clinical decisions.
