We had a recent event in which a patient needed Narcan but didn't have an active order for it although they had opioid pain medications ordered. What we found is that the opioids were ordered off of a providers preference list and not through an order set. When opioids are ordered through an order set then there is logic in place to automatically order narcan PRN if there is not already an active order for it. We are an Epic facility. Just wondering what strategies systems have employed to ensure patients with opioids ordered have an active narcan order to help prevent delay in care. Thanks.
