Diversion Prevention
Prevention Starts Here
Drug diversion can happen anywhere medications are stored, dispensed, administered, transported or disposed.
Rx Destroyer provides solutions to help mitigate the risk for healthcare organizations, pharmacies, veterinary practices, long term care facilities, and businesses supporting safer medication handling and disposal practices.
What is Drug Diversion?
Drug diversion is when prescription medications end up being used by someone it wasn’t originally intended for, whether through misuse, theft, or sharing medications with others.
While diversion is often associated specifically with healthcare, risk exists in any environment medications are present.
More Than Compliance
Proper medication storage, handling and disposals help organizations:
- Reduce Misuse & Unauthorized Access
- Support Patient & Employee Safety
- Minimize Operational Risk
- Reduce Environmental Contamination
Components of the Drug Diversion Prevention Program
Maintaining a proper “Chain of Custody” of controlled substances is critical for drug diversion prevention and detection in healthcare facilities. A chain of custody refers to a documented trail with either paper witness logs or electronic witness log systems which track the custody, control, transfer and disposition of drugs maintained in hospitals and healthcare settings. Ideally, prescriptions should be tracked from “cradle to grave” with clear documentation of where the pharmaceutical is in the chain of custody.
Most hospitals typically use an electronic system such as Omnicell or BD Pyxis™ PARx™ with barcode scanning technology which requires input into an electronic form of a witness log. Rx Destroyer offers a reference Witness Log Form for download which provides a DEA compliant disposal method of controlled substance with witness destruction.
