Scan on remove from ADC

Do you require nurses to scan each item upon removal from the Automated Dispensing Cabinet (ADC)?
In my system one hospital does require all medications to be scanned upon removal, and the other seven do not. We do have bedside barcode medication scanning.
We are discussing requiring scan on removal across the system for certain medications stored in the ADC refrigerator because of the risk of removal of incorrect product from the bins in the refrigerator.
