Introduction 

Welcome to MOSAIQ Radiation Oncology Nurses Training. This book is your guide 

to unlocking the possibilities of the MOSAIQ 1.20 application software, hereafter 

referred to as MOSAIQ. It is designed to be used during your instructor-led training, 

and as a handy desk reference any time you need a quick reminder how to do 

something in MOSAIQ. We recommend that you keep this book near your 

workstation so you can find it easily when needed. 

This training guide is not intended to replace the MOSAIQ documentation, which is 

contained in the MOSAIQ Help system. The MOSAIQ Help system provides indepth 

information on all available MOSAIQ features. 

Radiation Oncology Nurses Training is a Basic course that covers how to use MOSAIQ. 

This course assumes that you have basic Windows skills and have taken, and are 

familiar with, the concepts presented in MOSAIQ General Introduction training. 

Topics presented in this course build upon the concepts learned in the General 

Introduction. 

What’s In This Course 

In this course, you will learn the basics of MOSAIQ, register patients, patient 

diagnosis and intervention, view and create staff and location schedules, capture and 

review codes, access the Medications Formulary, and access allergies and alerts. You 

will also learn how to edit medications, display the Follow-Up Status Summary 

window, display the Documents window, use Quality Checklists, explore Clinical 

Trials, generate Orders, display patient vital signs and laboratory results, customize 

vital signs and laboratory and assessment forms, and use Care Plans. 

This course will not teach you basics on using MOSAIQ, which are covered in the 

General Introduction. 

Note that when you are working in the practice database, all activities are enabled for 

the practice ID. In your clinical database, you may or may not have security rights to 

do all the activities that you will do in this course.

• Manage Mail System 

• Utilize Online Help and Reference Tools 

As a Windows application, MOSAIQ contains many standardized components. Once 

you learn how to use a particular component, all similar components work the same. 

Menus and toolbar buttons are two of these standard components. Menus contain 

commands that you use to execute MOSAIQ features. All MOSAIQ functions are 

executed from menus. 

Many of the functions in MOSAIQ require you to select a patient in advance. If you 

attempt to perform a function that requires a patient chart to be open, a selection 

window automatically displays from which you can choose a patient. 

To select an existing patient, you must have Administrative | 

General | View rights.

Interventions window, you must have Clinical | General | 

View rights. 

To configure the tab labels, you must have Clinical | General

the primary tumor), N (the absence or presence 

and extent of regional lymph node metastasis, and 

M (the absence or presence of distant metastasis).

Lesson 2 Scheduling 

Objectives 

You will learn how to: 

• View Staff Schedule 

• Manage Appointments 

• Manage Wave Appointments 

• Schedule Locations 

• Create and Configure Daysheets 

Scheduling tracks staff appointments from information entered into the Staff field on 

the Appointment Slip. This field not intended to track the patient's physician; it is 

intended to track the staff member responsible for carrying out the appointment. For 

example, if a consultation is scheduled, the Staff field would contain a physician's name 

and that appointment would appear on the specified physician's Staff schedule. 

In this lesson, you will view staff schedules, adding appointments to the schedule, edit 

and delete appointments, schedule and view pending appointments, set appointment 

status, and print a patient’s schedule. 

To create and/or modify a recurring appointment, you must 

have Scheduling | General | Modify rights. 

To print a schedule, you must have Scheduling | General | 

View rights.
