Oxytocin - Pump Programming

We currently have our pump library setup with an oxytocin induction entry that is for 1-20 milliunits/min and then we have a post-partum entry in which is run at 350 mL/hr. We have lots of 'events' that show up on our pump data involving oxytocin because they do not change over to the post-partum entry and the pump library hits the guardrail. Out smart pump team was wondering what other institutions have built out for their oxytocin and if/how they differentiate between induction and post-partum infusions. Thanks!
