ADC override percentage calculation

We are focusing work in our ADC override rates and practices.

I wanted to verify how organizations were calculating their ADC override %s for metrics:

• # overrides / all ADC med vends or
• # overrides / all ADC vends for only meds that can be overridden

In creating tableau drilldowns by medication, I wanted to verify the denominator systems are using.

Thank you for weighing in!
