Orders for oral and rectal contrast?

How other Epic hospitals are handling orders for oral and rectal contrast? Is it treated like a med and ordered, verified by Pharmacy, administered on MAR? Our current practice is that the order is generated by protocol (med not documented in Epic), DI tech mixes the contrast, labels it, and sends to the unit.
