PO morphine for Pediatrics/NICU

I was wondering if there is a clear medication safety rationale on how specific dosage forms make their way onto the High Alert Medication list, requiring a double check by two registered nurses (RNs) during administration in the Epic system. IV morphine requires a double check by two RNs, but PO morphine doesn't.
