Enoxaparin prophylaxis standard AM vs PM timing

Hello,
Wondering if anyone has established/considered a standard QPM time for enoxaparin prophylaxis administration. We have typically gone with daily (0900) but got a request from providers to change to a standard PM frequency to avoid delaying procedures if a dose was given in the AM.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Erin
