If I report an incident, does that mean the person will get arrested, or that organization will get in trouble?

Reporting an incident to HealthCareDiversion.org is just a single step, which adds the incident to our national database.  It doesn’t necessarily mean someone will be arrested for drug diversion, fired or otherwise implicated.

Reporting an incident to law enforcement or regulators is also essential, as the sooner those groups can be made aware of diversion, the more quickly they can respond to the incident, to properly investigate if diversion has occurred – and prevent a catastrophic outcome, such as the spread of a life-threatening infection.  The sooner authorities are made aware of healthcare diversion within the system, the more quickly they can help.

For individuals who are unsure of how to report drug diversion to law enforcement or regulators, HealthCareDiversion.org can provide contact information and next steps.
