Baclofen clinical decision support

We are trying to implement clinical decision support for baclofen prescribing due to several cases of excessive dosing & neurotoxicity in our system (particularly with initiation of therapy and in patients with renal impairment.)

We are struggling to build this content to fire appropriately for new starts but not to impact patients already on baclofen therapy (especially for spasticity) so as to avoid causing harm from baclofen withdrawal in those patients.

Any input you can lend from your experiences is appreciated. We use Cerner and would be interested if any of you have already built content around this.
