Titration of meds - documentation

Hello, we are getting ready for TJC and wanted to reach out to see if any hospitals have a good practice in place for nurses documenting titrations of medication orders that are started in the ER and then are re-entered on admission but the starting rate is not the same as what the patient has been titrated up to in the ER. For example Levophed started in ER 5mcg/min and titrated up to 30 mcg but when ordered on admission it defaults to the starting 5 mcg rate.
