ISMP BP#16C monitoring ADC overrides

Good afternoon,
Wanting to pick the brain of this group for how you are all achieving ISMP Best Practice #16 part C "Monitor ADC overrides and verify appropriateness, transcription of orders, and documentation of administration."

We perform an annual review of our override list and keep it targeted towards only medications needed in an emergent situation. We also have really honed in on reducing the numbers of unlinked override pulls and saw great improvement in those numbers.

We are wondering if other institutions have found a proactive way to assess the appropriateness of the override pulls in real time? What documentation do you use to support that you have fully implemented this best practice?

Appreciate your insight!
