Writing medications in capital
letters prevents medical errors

11. High-Alert Medications are:
•
Medications involved in a high percentage of errors and/or
sentinel events
•
Medications that carry a higher risk for adverse outcomes
Look-alike/sound-alike (LASA) medications
Ø Heparin
ØWarfarin
Ø Narcotic medications
Ø Potassium chloride
Ø Epinephrine / non epinephrine

12. •
I Do
•
Policies or procedures are developed to address the
identification, location, labeling, and storage of high-alert
medications properly .
•
The policies or procedures are implemented

13. IPSG.4 Ensure Correct-Site, Correct-Procedure, Correct-Patient
Surgery

14. •
Uses an instantly recognized mark for surgical-site
identification and involves the patient in the marking
process.
•
Uses a checklist or other process to verify preoperatively
the Correct Site, Correct Procedure, and Correct Patient
and that all documents and equipment needed are on hand,
correct, and functional.
•
Marking the correct surgical site.

18. 2- infection control practices to include: 5 moment of hand hygiene

19. •
3-Use PPE ( Personal protective equipment)
•
Policies and/or procedures are developed that support continued reduction of health
care-associated infections

20. Goal 6: Reduce The Risk Of Patient Harm Resulting From Falls

22. •
Implements a process for the initial assessment of patients for
fall risk and reassessment of patients when indicated by a
change in condition or medications.
•
Measures are implemented to reduce fall risk for those assessed
to be at risk.
•
Measured are monitored for results, both successful fall injury
reduction and any unintended related consequences.
Assess and periodically reassess each patients risk for falling ,
including the potential risk associated with the patients
