Morphine in Renal Dysfunction

Forums: 

Does anyone have electronic or other tools in place to help prevent ADRs associated with morphine use in patients with severe renal dysfunction? I'm thinking maybe focused alerts for ER formulations, opioid-native patients, high doses, and/or patients who are receiving frequent prn doses?  There's no specific manufacturer recommendations, but Lexicomp provides some general guidance on dosing, etc.  

Thanks!
