Standardized medication administration times

Does anyone have a policy for a hospital or health system "standard administration times" (for example, "daily" meaning 9 am, etc)?

I'm not specifically looking at a time-critical medication policy, but an attempt to standardize typical administration times in a shared computer system.

My health system currently has pretty wide variability in these administration times, and looking at potential opportunities to streamline this work for our eRecord team.
