In Delaware, we have a similar structure. Outline for staff to follow to calculate the duration of medications. If the LTBI treatment is interrupted for a period of time the client is assessed and CXR obtained.

We have a calculations tool that is used that easily helps lay out the frequency which is divided into number of doses which then equals weeks. It seems that math can be challenging for some and the tool works like a charm. There
is a training that corresponds with the attachment however it's very easy to use.
To accommodate changes in frequency within the month you would put two entries for that month. Basically, it is the frequency of administration that determines the number of rows a month will take up.
So eg. January you started out as 7 days a week and the client took 14 doses and then was changed to three times a week with 9 doses taken
1st row would have January - 14 doses - 7 for frequency = 2 weeks
2nd row would have Janaury - 6 doses - 3 for frequency = 2 weeks
And so on. I hope this is helpful.
