Weight Entry Errors

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has a process in place to prevent incorrect weight entries?

We are an Epic based site and recently had an error where a patient weighed 96lbs (44kg) and this was accidentally entered as 96kg, resulting in high vancomycin loading dose leading to SCr of ~4 and nearly starting HD. Incorrect weights have led to a few errors in the past as well.

I know there was an old post a few years back, but just wondering if anything new has been tried since.

Thanks!
