Labeing Mis-adventures

Hi all -

Does anyone have any non-technology related strategies to address mislabeling errors for IV infusions? For example, label is for amiodarone but I attach adenosine to it instead. Label will still scan as correct since you're not scanning the product barcode.

Thanks!
