Medication errors continue to happen with insulin, opioid pain meds, chemotherapy, methotrexate, and other high-alert meds.
Be vigilant in preventing mishaps with high-alert meds...the consequences of an error with these are likely to be harmful, even fatal.
Alert your colleagues to high-alert meds dispensed in your pharmacy. Some pharmacies post a list of these meds near the pharmacy computer...or use shelf-tags on pharmacy shelves and bins as added warnings.
