High Alert medication labelling
I need to clarify if it is required by the JC or JCI to label each single medication vial/ ampule of High Alert medication with high alert label across the hospital.
And if the ISMP had any comment on this practice
How safe is this recommendation/ practice
Appreciate your feedback ASAP.
