Simple Steps to Prevent Drug Diversion and Improve Patient and Staff Safety
The average incident of drug diversion goes undetected for years. The act of redirecting a medication from its intended use is a felony that can result in criminal prosecution and loss of license. Yet many providers and organizations have a difficult time knowing where to start in protecting employees from the dangers of addiction, and what to do once they discover instances of drug diversion in their facility.
Register to join us in learning from drug diversion specialist Kimberly New JD BSN RN on April 23, 2024, as she outlines the impact of diversion on patient safety and care quality, shares practices to improve drug security, and identifies the core elements of a drug diversion prevention program.
