Opioid naïve vs tolerant--ISMP Best Practice

For those that use Epic, how have you addressed this ISMP Best Practice?
Verify and document a patient’s opioid status (naïve versus tolerant) and type of pain (acute versus chronic) before prescribing and dispensing extended-release and long-acting opioids. Please comment on how you do this inpatient and outpatient.
