High Alert Medication Criteria

We are in the process of updating our high alert medication list and are considering setting criteria for meds to add/remove/modify, etc.

Aside from ISMP's community and acute high alert medication recommended lists, are you assessing other external or internal information? Has your organization set any criteria or thresholds for addition or removals?
For example, if there was a medication error that occurred, does that meet criteria to be added? Or if there are zero reported medication errors/close calls, do you remove? Any additional thoughts?

Thanks,
Michelle
Director, Pharmacy Quality & Medication Safety
