Fentanyl Patch Ordering

Hello everyone - We are currently looking into modifications on how we order fentanyl patches to ensure we communicate appropriate application instructions, warnings, dose recommendations, etc. Appreciate if anyone is able to share examples of their IT builds for ordering. We are an Epic institution. I have reviewed UserWeb and examples there are mostly order sets, but we are trying to build these around a single orderable to account for medication reconciliation and reduce excess burden in ordering.
