At our facility, we use floor stock, and have a CDS that states "Did you verify the amount and type of insulin with another nurse? [Y/N] HCH policy requires that this be done prior to administration.

If so: 2a) Do you use the "co-signature" routine within eMAR? 2b) Or, do you have a screen in which the administering nurse enter the name of the nurse who double-checked the dose Thanks for any input!
