Loop closure on medications not verified

Can you describe the process in your hospital when pharmacy does not verify a medication (order is wrong, there is a question, etc.)---who gets contacted and how? Is there a process if that person does not call back or can't be reached?

We are trying to figure out how to close the loop on ensuring follow up is always done on all medications that are not verified.
