REMS management

I'm looking for some guidance on how other facilities handle REMS medications from an inpatient perspective. This question was sparked by a recent ISMP newsletter (https://www.ismp.org/resources/incorporating-rems-program-requirements-s...).

For example, suboxone, do you distribute a medication guide to patients on the floor? What is your workflow? REMS guidelines seem to be written for outpatient use, however, I do not see inpatient facility exceptions.

Thank you for the help!
