Oral chemotherapy continuation

We are an Epic health system and recently implemented a best practice advisory prompting an oncology consult when a provider tried to continue a home oral chemotherapy during admission med reconciliation. We still have instances where the oral agent was continued without the consult or was continued upon discharge with discharge med rec. Has anyone blocked ordering to just oncology or have a different solution that has worked at your location?
