Patient education by pharmacist for weekly oral methotrexate discharge orders

How are you handling ISMP targeted best practice #2: Patient Education by a pharmacist for all weekly oral methotrexate discharge orders? We are an Epic hospital.
How is the pharmacist notified?
Where is the patient education housed?

Thanks!
