Medications not adminsitered - Inpatient

Our largest number of errors associated with nursing staff have to do with medications not being administered. Does anyone else have an issue with medications not being administered as ordered?
We are looking to do reeducation and want the providers to be notified when (certain) medications are not given. I was hoping to hear how other places tackle this - strict protocol for notifying providers per medication class or some other approach.
Thanks -
