In blood product order entry within the electronic health record, the ordering provider is required to select an indication for the blood product order. If the patient's laboratory values are not in line with the guideline indication selected, a clinical decision support alert will fire and be shown to the ordering provider. This alert will inform the provider that the order is outside institutional guidelines and the provider has the option to cancel the order (or bypass the order and select a reason for proceeding with the order).
