Learn About Incidents

Most providers administer medications responsibly. But a growing number of providers are diverting drugs for personal use or re-sale.

It is estimated that more than 10% of all healthcare workers will steal opioids and other substances from patients and hospitals at some point in their career. It’s happening in all hospitals, in every town.
