Wrong Time Errors on Overnights

We have seen a handful of "wrong time" errors recently during our overnight shifts where either the ordering provider or the verifying pharmacist is unaware that the dose is scheduled for the following day when they retime an order - leading to significant delays. Have any Epic organizations leveraged technology to help our nocturnists recognize that the order is not scheduled to start until the following day? We have been trying to think through ways that we could accomplish this but are trying to limit the noise recognizing that this will be sometimes intentionally done.

Shot in the dark but thought I would ask!
Thanks,
