Paralytics

Especially for those that have stand-alone EDs as part of the system - what are some failsafe methods that are used to prevent patients from receiving a paralytic without adequate sedation of RASS -5. We have an alert in our ADC as well as administration comments within the paralytic order but are there other strategies that have been used to help mitigate this risk?
