Has anyone else done any EHR build for T-VEC?

This medication is expressed in exponents (10 to the 6th, 10 to the 8th) on the packaging. We use FDB which states the exponent using "EXP" by default. I am very concerned about potential errors.

Current proposal is eliminating the exponent and using 1 Million versus 100 Million instead. Also, plan to put 1 Million = 10^6 and 100 Million = 10^8 in the administration instructions.

Interested to hear what others have done to mitigate risk or any other creative ideas. Thanks!
