Required Indications

Polling question. Do you require indications on new medication prescriptions through your EHR?

1) Yes, indications are required on ALL new prescriptions.
2) Yes, indications are required on SOME new prescriptions, if so, please expand.
3) No, we do not require indications on any new prescriptions.

Our organization is a 2, we require indications on all new med prescriptions from the inpatient setting and on any anticoagulation orders in the ambulatory setting. Hoping to pursue expanding this to require on ALL new prescriptions.

Thanks in advance!
