Time to administration, waste or return

Hello,

What does your organization use as a required time for administration, waste, or return of controlled substances?

Do you have exception to policy for procedural use?

Would you mind sharing your policy?

If you don't require a time, do you have an alternate strategy to mitigate risk of diversion?

Thank you!
