Hello,

Wondering if other sites have a good process for this. For patients that come in on an IUD, how is this being managed from an order rec process? We have had issues where a provider unintentionally ordered a patient's IUD for continuation in-hospital from their home med list, leading to our pharmacy dispensing one but luckily was caught by another pharmacist.

Granted, even if the IUD made it to the floor the nurse/resident probably would be very confused as to what to do with it (non-OB floor) but just wondering if other organizations have developed a specific workflow for these or other meds that need an awareness from the team but no active orders.
