Tranexamic acid safety

Greetings,
Can you share what you have put in place for tranexamic acid safety specifically related to IV use?
I am familiar with the ISMP recommendations. I am curious specifically if you

1- use premixed bags vs. vials compounded or used with vial to bag device
2- have used an auxiliary label and if so, what did you put on the label
3- sequestered tranexamic acid within automated dispensing devices vs. anesthesia trays
4- how do you raise awareness safety concerns within your organization - i.e. how to do you get to end users in all disciplines and maintain this awareness for future onboarding etc.
5- have you been able to eradicate the abbreviation TXA???? :)

Thank you for anything you are willing to share or anything that has or hasn't worked well in your organization.
