Drug diversion is a critical issue within our hospitals and clinics across the country. It is estimated that 10 to 15% of a hospital’s nursing staff has been addicted to prescription medications at one time or another.
Drug Diversion poses a major risk for your care system in the following ways:
- Significant lawsuits that will have an adverse financial impact
- Public relations nightmare and system reputation that will be tarnished with just one drug diversion case
- Patient and staff safety is drastically reduced if drug diversion is not thwarted
Every care system needs to address this national problem. Trexin has identified 4 major areas of risk where improvements can be made quickly and effectively:
- Lack of Dedicated Drug Diversion Prevention Staff
