"Hold" order for ordered medications

I think it would beneficial to have an option for providers to "hold" an active order instead of discontinuing it or having nursing omit it daily on the MAR. That way it would be less of a chance of forgetting to continue it at a later date or upon discharge, or for it accidentally be given by nursing instead of omitted. It should still be on the MAR with a different color to indicate it is being held, but also it should be unable to be administered until it is resumed by provider.

      Is there any type of update on when this function will be added? What are work arounds that anyone has tried?

    Ability to put meds on hold

    Meds are often put on hold for a dose or two while the patient is in the hospital. Once they have been ordered to the MAR, there is no ability to put them on hold presenting a potential med error. If they are discontinued, they are often forgotten...
