High-Alert Medications

The idea
High-alert medications are drugs that carry a heightened risk of significant harm if they are used in error.
In practice
Safety organizations publish lists of them, and facilities set written processes, such as extra checks, for handling them.
Where people slip
Anticoagulants and opioids are among the drug types that appear on such lists, so extra care with them is expected, not optional.
