RT documentation in MAR restricted

Good morning,

We use Cerner and are trying to restrict MAR documentation of respiratory therapist to just inhaled routes for medications that can also be given using other routes (i.e., acetylcysteine, tobramycin, etc). This is a concern because of the risk of incorrectly documenting on IV orders.

Has anyone been successful in restricting MAR documentation for respiratory therapists to just inhaled and nebulized routes?

Thank you,
Julieth Formosa
