Oral Antidiabetic Utilization Inpatient and Metformin BPAs

Hello!

Wondering if your institutions currently stock and administer oral antidiabetic agents in the inpatient setting If so, do you have a policy or processes in place to support the safe utilization and also agents on formulary that you would be willing to share?

Related - can anyone share the alerts or safeguards that you currently have built out / in place for metformin with inpatient use? (we have Epic)

Our organization previously had not stocked or utilized oral antidiabetics - but is integrating with another health system and now looking to stock.

Thanks in advance!
Emily
