Cyclic TPN

We have seen events with cyclic TPN where the rate or VTBI of a TPN titration is manually misprogrammed. We use Epic-Alaris pump integration and have TPN built as a fluid on the Alaris pump. Has anyone figured out a way to use pump integration to send the titrations rates and VTBI to the pumps so that nurses do not have to manipulate the programming? Have any organizations created reminders within the MAR to alert staff when the next titration is due? Appreciate any suggestions!
