Innovative prompts in workflow to support disconnection, discarding and order discontinuation of titratable critical care infusi

Gaps in intravenous line reconciliation is the active failure in safety events with inadvertent administration of titratable critical care infusions that have been paused-but remain at the bedside instead of intended IVPB, for example. A latent failure is gap in disconnection, discarding drug supply and having the order discontinued after a certain period of pause. Does anyone have robust process to prompt/support disconnection, discarding of drug supply, and order discontinuation after the infusion has been stopped (MAR documentation of STOPPED) for X period of time, such as 4 hours?
