Inpatient Provider Administered intra-articular injections

Does anyone have a good process in their EHR to manage orders for, dispensing of, and documentation of provider administered intra-articular injections on a med-surg unit?
We had a recent scenario where the provider entered the order as IM instead of IA, and the med went to the MAR giving the impression that the nurse was to administer it IM.
