Time Critical Scheduled Medications

I am curious if any of you would share with me what is on your lists for time-critical scheduled medications? (30 min on either side of administration time) I did a quick search of this topic on the MSOS forum and have seen answers circa 2014-2018. I am wondering if answers have changed since then? I am told DNV surveyors look for this policy specifically, for evidence that we are adherent. Particularly interested in similar academic hospitals’ lists.

Thank you,
