Automated Dispensing Cabinets Questions

Hi all, 

Can you share whether your site has implemented either of the following in your automated dispensing cabinets? If so, I’d appreciate it if you could share any pros and cons.

Thanks,
Casey

1.) A second witness requirement for the removal of certain medications (e.g., neuromuscular blockers) by caregivers?

2.) A five-character minimum when searching for a medication?
