High Alert Insulin Bin

 

Problem: Failure to recognize high-alert drugs with look-alike, sound-alike names, which can lead to dispensing errors and compromise patient safety. 

 

Solution: Developed with input from our Advisory Board, this solution targets patient safety without being overly complicated. Its distinct red color, lid and labeling differentiate it from other drug storage containers. As a result, workers must read the label, lift the lid and process the drug name prior to administration.

 

HCL® Triangular Tablet Counter, HD Only

 

Problem: The risk for cross-contamination that can happen when using the same counter for all compounded medications. 

 

Solution: We laser etched this pharmacy essential with the HD symbol and a warning message to create designated space for HD tablet counting. Doing so helps avoid drug mix-ups that can cause cross-contamination and lead to potentially dangerous patient reactions. The counter is compatible with any size round or spherical tablets.
