BCMA of enteral nutrition products?

At my hospital, currently enteral nutrition (tube feeding and supplements like Juven, Beneprotein, etc.) are not on the MAR and not BCMA'ed by nursing on administration. We are starting to explore with nursing and dietary how to start doing this.

Just curious how many others are doing this, and from a technical standpoint, how you have these orders built in your EHR? (We are on Epic). Do you have them built as ERX/medication records (to auto-verify) but so that they do appear on the MAR with due times, and require BCMA scan?

Also note we (pharmacy) does not supply these, they come from materials/clean supply or for peds small doses from the infant supply room.

Thanks!
