Med Orders for Inpatient Dialysis

Hello! I am interested in learning if anyone has done work to improve safety for medication orders that are only needed during the dialysis session.

For example, what safeguards are in place to prevent an order for heparin, only needed during dialysis, from being administered outside of the dialysis "procedure".

Appreciate any thoughts or insights you may have!

Kind regards,
Jen
