Incorporating Therapeutic Equivalency from Orange Book into Willow Ambulatory

Do any institutional outpatient pharmacies using Willow Ambulatory have a process that incorporates therapeutic equivalency ratings into workflow when selecting an NDC? We are exploring the best way to incorporate annual Orange book updates using the excel data files, but then need to routinely monitor and update with the monthly additions/deletions orange book puts out. We have no way to update through FDB and are exploring how other Epic institutions incorporate this information into their system so that pharmacists do not need to manually search in the Orange Book each time they change an NDC.
