CMS did not even give those of us who worked hard to stay on top of things enough time to be able to do everything right.

It’s almost like they confuse you on purpose.

I scrolled through your blog. We do cover some of the same things but you have a lot of information that I don’t! Our nurses need all the information they can get to be successful. Glad to share links with you!

I’ve added you to my blogroll–would you consider adding my blog to yours? My blog is http://mnhomecarenurse.wordpress.com/. I blog about OASIS and other Home Care related topics as well.

We all need to be careful not to let the data set override common sense. CMS is expecting us to use a list based upon an authoritative source. A post about High Alert Meds can be found http://haydelconsultingservices.com/2009/11/23/high-alert-medications/. Meanwhile, if your patient is taking a medication that is generally safe for most people but poses risks to your patient, teach on it and document it. The last thing we need to do is to let confusion over definitions and intent cloud our nursing judgment. Seems like you won’t let that happen!

A medication that could be high risk for one might not be so for another.
