ISMP Targeted Best Practice #9

Can anyone share what their facilities have in place to comply with targeted best practice #9? It states -

- Ensure all appropriate antidotes, reversal agents, and rescue agents are readily available. Have standardized protocols and/or coupled order sets in place that permit the emergency administration of all appropriate antidotes, reversal agents, and rescue agents used in the facility.

- Have directions for use/administration readily available in all clinical areas where the antidotes, reversal agents, and rescue agents are used.

- Identify which antidotes, reversal agents, and rescue agents can be administered immediately in emergency situations to prevent patient harm.

Thanks in advance!
