PRN Therapeutic Duplications

Hello all,

I am curious how other hospitals manage therapeutic duplications between anesthesiologists and surgeons. Currently, anesthesia orders analgesics and antiemetic agents for "PACU use only" but surgeons will often order similar medications before the anesthesia orders have been discontinued. Our hospital uses Cerner for CPOE and I was wondering how others hospitals handle this issue.

Thank you,

Jim
