Monthly edits with electronic records

I'm curious to know what others in skill nursing facilities are doing for their monthly "edits"? When it was paper, MAR/TAR edits were easy enough as everything was transcribed over to new order sheets.
 

Given that the electronic MAR generates at the beginning of the month what are the expectations for having Orders renew Q30 days etc.?

I can't find a specific regulation that speaks to this aside from the obvious per facility policy; but I'm certain we don't have one (yet)  this transition has been anything but smooth

I am not getting any clear answer from the powers that be in my facility except that the doctor states in his progress note that all medication's were reviewed.  
 

I'm pretty sure our corporate thinks the doctors signed the orders every month but actually they only signed new orders and discontinued orders.  
 

Is the expectation that the orders will be discontinued and entered all over again every month or....

 

Would love some feedback sorry if this is gibberish long day
