Background:
Emerging immunotherapies are associated with numerous toxicities. Although traditional health records allow nurses to document system-based assessments, few offer immunotherapy-based documentation templates to assess and grade toxicities. .
Objectives:
The aim of this article is to present the development of a standardized template for documenting genetically modified cellular product-related toxicities in an electronic health record (EHR). .
Methods:
Through interprofessional collaboration, a documentation template for genetically modified cellular product-related toxicities was developed in an EHR, allowing for standardized documentation, data reporting, and tracking of immune-related toxicities. .
Findings:
The documentation template has enhanced the quality and safety of practice at the authors' institution and provides a framework for other nursing units when initiating immunotherapy care. .

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
