Security of Controlled Substance Infusions

We are currently looking for suggestions to improving on the traditional 'lock box' for securing controlled substances that are actively infusing. We recently explored using a locakable PCA pump for the administration of all controlled substances but found that there would not be a standard approach to this and we would still have to operate a mixed (bags and syringes) system. Any feedback on how your organization has solved this security issue would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Lee
