Omnicell and Override Reason Lists

I was wondering what work has been done by anyone in this group has done work with override reasons especially in regard to ISMP guidelines for ADCs?

  • Can you have truncated lists available for relevant drugs?
  • If not, can someone recommend a shorted list of reasons that can fit on one screen?
  • What is being done with this data, if you are utilizing it?

We have been attempting to meet quarterly to align our ADC usage both with each other and toward the ISMP guidelines. Nursing and Patient Safety will be joining us post-COVID, but really looking at what we can do within the Pharmacy Department in the meantime. This approach has garnered positive results, but less so than desired.
