Proactive Naloxone Order

Hi,
Would love to hear if anyone has a requirement for a naloxone PRN order for specific patient populations or when specific medications are ordered. For example, when insulin is ordered we have a few hypoglycemia orders that must be added to the patient's MAR as PRN. So the question arose, should we do this with opioids & naloxone.

Thank you!
