Health Care Risk Management Week: Special Report
Improving Diversion Reporting Through Shared Best Practices
Drug diversion incidents remain a problem throughout healthcare, where an estimated 10% to 15% of all industry professionals misuse drugs or alcohol. Through the nonprofit Healthcare Diversion Network’s website HealthcareDiversion.org, 684 diversion incidents have been reported across all 50 states, and while most incidents happen in hospitals, pharmacies have also seen an influx.
Reports to the site are verified and input into a database, displayed on a searchable map to help providers hire more effectively, improve provider accountability, and assist patients in avoiding risky providers. The network strives to prevent drug diversion, which can lead to addiction, drug overdose deaths, and the spread of infectious diseases, undermining the integrity of the healthcare system.
