Healthcare professionals providing medical care while impaired is a significant problem for healthcare facilities and the organizations that own and operate them. Recently, there has been a significant rise in the rates of theft and diversion of controlled drugs attributed to healthcare facility employees. It is critical for healthcare facilities to have easy access to medications to remain operational, without them they would not be able to function. However, the regulations enforced by the DEA mandate that healthcare facilities secure and safeguard these drugs to detect and prevent theft and diversion. Typically, as medications flow through a hospital from the pharmacy until administered, dispensed and or wasted, they are handled by employees with different responsibilities and often little if any oversight.
