Abstract

Abstract:
High-risk medications are associated with a significant potential for harm if not managed properly, making their safe administration a critical aspect of healthcare. Collaboration among medical teams, including nurses, pharmacists, and emergency medical personnel, plays a pivotal role in enhancing the management of these medications. This paper explores the impact of interdisciplinary teamwork on mitigating medication errors, optimizing dosing accuracy, and ensuring patient safety. By fostering effective communication, shared decision-making, and comprehensive training programs, healthcare teams can address challenges associated with high-risk medications. The study underscores the importance of structured protocols and the integration of technological solutions, such as electronic medication management systems, to support collaborative practices. Enhanced team collaboration not only improves outcomes but also builds a culture of safety within healthcare institutions.
