Title: Drug Diversion by Healthcare Personnel -Prevention Program to Protect Your Patients, Employees, and Organization. - By Compliance Global Inc. - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: While there are no reliable national estimates of the prevalence of drug diversion activity by U.S. healthcare personnel, diversion occurs in facilities across the US every day.

Harm to patients from healthcare personnel who divert opioids may take many forms, including care delivered by an impaired provider, untreated pain, and infection risks stemming from tampering with injectable drugs. This webinar will outline fundamental components of adiversion prevention, detection, and response program. An overview of the scope of the problem will be provided, and safety and quality implications will be demonstrated by actual case studies. Regulatory, statutory and quality standards relating to controlled substance security and diversion will be detailed. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
