Real-time override monitoring for Pyxis

Hi everyone,
We are trying to be more proactive in catching overrides that don't have orders/aren't documented/aren't wasted, especially with agency staff who might not come back for days.
Years ago I worked with AcuDose and it was very easy to run an override report on demand, or schedule it to be printed on the unit. The charge RN would run the report at shift change and anyone who had an override had to sign off that it was complete before they left for the day. We are struggling to find a similar workflow for Pyxis.

As we start opening tickets with IT and BD, has anyone had success with creating a Pyxis override review process closer to real-time? Nursing says Pharmacy running a daily report with a 24-hour lookback is too late for them to act.

Feel free to email directly with technical replies: erin.gavin@ascension.org
Thanks in advance!
Erin
