HLT 308V Week # 1 Assignment: Risk Management Analysis; Part No. I
Risk Management Plan and Audience
High alert medications and high risk processes that focus on the use of anticoagulants is
the specific plan that was chosen for this report. The specific audience for this report is nursing
staff, pharmacist and providers who will be administering or preparing high risk medications,
specifically anticoagulants. This topic was chosen because of the high likelihood of hard that can
be done when a patient is prescribed anticoagulant therapy, and the high rate of errors present in
anticoagulant therapy.
Firstly, a high alert medication are medications that can cause significant harm if subject
to a medication error. The frequency that many of these medications are used contributes to the
lack of proper safeguard use in hospitals which could contribute to the error rate. (Lu, Yu, Chen,
Wang, Wu, & Tang, 2013). Although increased rate of errors is not necessarily a criterion for
being classified as “high-alert” status, anticoagulants categories have been associated with more
medication errors than any other medications, according to the Institute for Safe Medication
Practices(ISMP) (2014). Increased attention has been a focus of hospitals and accrediting bodies
since 1999, when the US Institute of Medicine released the book To Err is Human- Building a
Safer Health System (Lu et. al, 2013).
Recommended Process vs. Facility
There are many regulatory bodies that have taken notice High-Alert Medications, also
known as HAM’s, and have specific recommendations for the processes involved in their
administration. To start, Federal and State laws are the major contributing bodies; however, they
also highly rely on other organizations to help identify areas that could help improve the
medication administration process such as the National Coordinating Council for Medication
