Smart Infusion Pump Clinical Advisories

Hello,
We are a multi-site health system that has previously had different smart infusion pump builds. As we bring everyone live on a standard library we are looking to standardize clinical advisories. There are character limit challenges with pump vendors and I am curious how others have solved for this, specifically:

1. Do you abbreviate independent double check? If so, how? IDC? 2 RN check? other?
2. What criteria do you use to determine if there should be a clinical advisory?

If you are willing to share your clinical advisories that would be helpful too. Thank you in advance!
