CMS 30 minute rule on time- critical and non time- critical medications.

Good morning

We received a query that the sender and ISMP would appreciate your input. Does your hospital IT system have the ability to notify the nurse by a visual or audio cue which medications are in the time-critical period of giving to meet CMS guidelines for drug administration?

If you don't mind what system are you using? Thanks!
