Provider Manual MAR Hold Implementation

Hi all,

We are embarking on a project to implement Epic's manual MAR hold feature. I was interested in learning from others who already have manual MAR hold implemented in Epic.

Specifically:

1. Any existing policies/procedures that could be shared?
2. Do you include/exclude certain medications/classes of medications?
3. What safety events have commonly occurred? Any specific challenges?
4. Lastly, was there any specific education/training provided to providers, nursing, and/or pharmacy re: manual MAR hold?

Thank you!
