Regulatory Compliance - CMS Auto Stop

How does your institution maintain compliance with CMS regulation 482.25 (b) (5) “Drugs and biologicals not specifically prescribed as to time or number of doses must automatically be stopped after a reasonable time that is predetermined by the medical staff?” Do all ordered medications have an automatic end date in the electronic health record? If there is an automatic end date, do providers have a prompt to renew or restart medications that have automatically completed? Does anyone not have an auto stop and if so, how do you justify?
