Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) Wipes

Hi,
Does anybody have an electronic ordering process that screens CHG wipes against a patient's documented allergies? Do you have screening for other topical CHG products (washes, swabs, dressings, etc.)? If so, I would love to connect and learn more.

2017 FDA warning about CHG allergic reactions: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-drug-safety-c....

Thank you!
