Ceftriaxone use in neonates

At your organization, do you use ceftriaxone in neonates? If so, can you please share your criteria for use?
Additional questions:
- Do you have any electronic (EMR) safeguards in place to alert if a patient has received IV calcium containing products 48 hours prior and post 48 hours of ceftriaxone?
a) If yes, Does the alert capture one-time doses or doses administered in the ED or OR? Can you please share how the alert is built?
b) If no, Are there non-EMR safeguards in place?
