Cross‐monitoring is a tool to assist in error reduction in teams and allows team members to monitor unusual situations or hazards, identify safety slips or lapses, and provide impromptu consultation and feedback. For example, many HROs use two‐person patient identification when administering narcotics via a patient‐controlled administration system. If the pump were set incorrectly, the patient could receive an inappropriate dose, have a respiratory arrest, and potentially die. The two‐person process is an essential safety step and reinforces teamwork when providing care.
