Intra-Operative High Alert Medication Process

I am searching for a policy on how your organization handles High Alert medications in the OR setting with Anesthesia. Please provide your High Alert policy detailing this process. In addition, do you have a risk assessment document I can have?

Questions:

Does Anesthesia follow the same process as nursing on the patient floors?

Is Anesthesia exempt from the High Alert process in the OR setting?

Does Anesthesia follow their own internal process that is reference in your High Alert policy?

Thank you.  Joe
