586 Background: This pilot technology enhancement project set out to improve the quality of care for oncology patients by developing a mobile application for writing prescriptions (non-chemotherapy) and narcotics. We describe usage of this new mobile application and associated timeliness of care delivery, provider workflow efficiencies and patient safety metrics. Methods: Agile methodology was used to develop the workflow and software for the mobile application. Internal Patient Safety Usability Testing (PSUT) was used to assess high-risk tasks amongst potential users (n = 7). High-risk tasks were defined as those which, based on human error, could lead to potential patient harm or unsafe conditions. High-risk tasks included the ability for users to understand/acknowledge allergy and drug interactions, edit a selection, select and send to the appropriate pharmacy, and locate the record of the completed prescription within the patient’s chart through the mobile application. A pilot study was also conducted among oncologists (n = 14). A quantitative metric was measured to understand the adoption and usability of the mobile application. Qualitative feedback was also obtained. Result
