Perioperative and anesthesia care present unique patient safety challenges. This article describes the development and implementation of the Anesthesia Risk Alert (ARA) program, which promotes collaborative clinical decision-making and recommends risk mitigation strategies to address specific high-risk clinical scenarios. Since implementation began in 2019, ARA compliance has exceeded 90% and has reduced the rate of adverse events among certain high-risk patients, such as those with a high body mass index.
