Antibiotics with dialysis

When antibiotics are ordered to be given after dialysis (e.g. vancomycin), what strategies have organizations implemented to ensure that they are not accidentally given on non-dialysis days? We currently have a clinical note on the order saying to only give on dialysis days and to make as not done on non-dialysis days.
