Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center is a 650-bed tertiary care facility in the Southwestern United States. The pharmacy and nursing departments collaborated on a multifocal project to address the educational and operational needs of the facility regarding the new JCAHO Medication Management Review Standards for high-risk and high-alert medications. The project encompassed policy creation, nursing education, identification and evaluation of HRHA medications, and facility-wide distribution of information related to high-risk and high-alert medications.
