Defining primary versus secondary setup for infusion practice in SOP

We are venturing to define system standards of practice for which medication IV infusions are administered as primary versus secondary (small volume intermittent) setups.

Additionally, we are pursuing ISMP recommendations to reduce medication loss per 12/3/20 and 4/8/21 Acute Care newsletters.

Has any system navigated a SOP with this infusion setup content that they would be willing to share?

Also wondering if anyone has ventured to place primary or secondary setup in the EHR order or on the pharmacy label.

Thank you for weighing in to all or via private message.
