On Call Definition

Hi all,

Do any institutions have a definition of "on call" in their medication policies? Recently we had an error in which "on call to OR" was misinterpreted, so we'd like to add verbiage to our Medication Orders policy to provide guidance. In our EHR "on call" and "on call to OR" are available frequencies for medications.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Best,
Meghan
