Heme consults for hx HIT

Hi there - we recently had a patient with history of HIT who had a procedure that essentially required heparin, and our hematology team was not consulted in a reasonable time.

Does anyone have a process to encourage surgeons to proactively consult hematology in situations like this? We are an Epic institution.
