Description

The article notes that "establishing a clear policy and standard guidelines for the administration of high-risk medications by healthcare institutions and double-eye control of nurses in high-risk medication administration are among the initiatives recommended by WHO." Double checking catches calculation and administration errors before they reach the patient; a web-based system can supply the second check when staffing prevents two-nurse checking.
