We are working with our nursing partners to optimize the process for concealing PHI on labels when used medications are discarded. Beyond redacting this information with a black security marker, have any institutions implemented other measures, such as privacy stickers, stamps, or self-shred / perforated labels? If so, what are you using, and how is it working?

Thank you,
