Restricted Medication Policies/Lists

Know this topic tends to circulate on this board, but looking to gain some insight into what organizations have for policies that define what medications are restricted to specific areas of the hospital (e.g., ICU only) and/or require special monitoring such as telemetry. Looking for a few good examples of policies and lists that have been effective in driving appropriate patient care/monitoring decisions, without being a barrier to patient care/flow due to being "overly prescriptive". Thanks for your input!
