I believe you can limit the number of high risk meds that you require the signature on and make this work. I don't believe it is best to design the process to allow/encourage poor behavior. If you are using BMV then you should be preparing the meds at the bedside. So, if that is happening how can an RN/LPN verify that med except at the bedside.
The whole purpose of BMV and eMAR is patient safety. If you circumvent that what do you have?

We are currently using Emar and just document that it was verified by an RN/LPN - Y/N. We changed this when going to BMV because of the difficultly of needing someone at the bedside otherwise. I am currently involved in another project looking at this very topic and it would be great to know what others are doing.

Either on paper or electronically, do you require a "co-sign" on High Alert Meds? If so: 1. Briefly, which meds are considered HA at your site 2. If electronically, do you require a PIN or just the User ID If not, does your site have nursing use a non-documented visual verification of any meds (insulin, peds doses, etc.)?
