Tubing Change Documentation- Epic

Our infection control has identified some opportunities in documenting tubing changes. Right now in EPIC, this flowsheet row is in the IV assessment flowsheet, and only allows entry of a date and time, and no comments for which medication.

Looking to see if anyone has optimized this workflow. We are looking for ways to possibly link a flowsheet row to the MAR. Any ideas on how to make the documentation easier for nurses would be appreciated.

Thank you,
