SGLT2 inhibitors - inpatient use

Hi Everyone,
Wanted to see if any of you have good workflow processes (including EMR configurations) to ensure that any patient who receives an SGLT2 inhibitor inpatient does not receive this medication as their condition may change, like becoming NPO, unplanned procedure, abnormal labs, etc.. Are you storing this medication in your ADC and relying on your nurses to hold if needed, or are your pharmacists actively involved in a daily review or other strategies?
Really appreciate any insights, and hearing what may work well at your respective hospitals.
Thank you! Alex
