"Implementing Systems for Detection and Prevention of Drug Diversion"

Diversion of drugs by healthcare workers poses a considerable challenge for hospitals. Diversion can lead to significant financial losses as well as potential impact to patients. In addition, accrediting and regulating agencies require pharmacy departments maintain accountability, security and control of controlled substances and that any movement or diversion of drugs is identified in a timely manner. Failure to do so can result in significant accreditation issues -- and even fines. Vigilance is required on the part of monitoring systems to detect and intervene into potential problem areas. Two such examples are presented in these slides.
