High Alert Med Policy

We are updating our High Alert med policy and I'm wondering how other facilities differentiate between high alert meds that require an independent double check and the ones that do not. ISMP's list is extensive and states that the double check is not always optimal. But, I feel like the staff hears "high risk" and assumes double check for the most part... Also, wondering if people are still including warfarin?
I'd love to see some of your updated policies. Thanks so much!
