Hi, I'm curious what people think about the use of auxiliary labels on final dispensed products... i.e. when techs or RPhs place "High Alert Medication" or "Continuous Infusion" or "For RT Use only" labels on the products. This can definitely bring attention to safety concerns, but what happens when people forget? Could this actually increase risk if nurses rely on these labels to identify risks? What are some ways to make this practice more consistent? Considering if/how this should be addressed in our high alert policy. Thanks!
