Re-timing orders

Interested to learn what EHR programming settings you have in place for re-timing medication orders?

Is this a task exclusively managed by a pharmacist or do you allow nurses the ability to retime? If nurses can re-time, are there limits on how many subsequent administration times can be adjusted (e.g., 1 at a time vs. duration of order), time duration from original due time the re-timing can be, etc.?
