Drug Diversion Insights with Terri Vidals

Drug diversion is a real concern in the healthcare setting. It is estimated that 10% of nurses are dependent on some type of drug. Hospital staff are as vulnerable as the rest of the population to addiction. When you consider that vulnerability, and add to it the access healthcare providers have to the addictive medications, steps must be put in place to monitor for diversion. Allowing a healthcare provider to divert medications from the intended path (the patient) to themselves results in multiple points of risk.
