Anticoagulation Indication required at prescribing - Acute Care

We are working to improve safety surrounding anticoagulation prescribing by including a required indication field when inpatient orders are placed. This additional information will help the pharmacist to ensure correct dosing, especially for DOACs.

Trying to gauge if any other institutions have an indication field for documentation when anticoagulants are ordered and if so, if it is required.

Many thanks in advance!
