ADC Overrides

I am currently reviewing our override list, policy, and procedure, while keeping in mind behaviors and culture shift, I am in process of developing an override decision tree to aid staff in understanding when it is appropriate to override medications.

Does anyone have a decision tree/algorithm they would share related to medication overrides that they keep near their ADC for staff to review? This will also help leadership when coaching staff regarding appropriateness of overriding a medication.

Thanks!
