Medications for Midlines

We have recently developed a midline/PICC policy and the IV team RNs are requesting a list of formulary medications that can be administered through the midline based on osmolarity.

1. Does anyone provide Nursing with a list of meds appropriate/contraindicated for midline administration?
2. If yes, is this list included in the policy?
3. If yes, how do you maintain the accuracy of this list?
4. Does anyone have any EMR rules/alerts or order/product comments that speak to midline administration?

Thanks in advance!
