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.

Better visibility into what may be impacting your community can lead to:

  • Smarter hiring decisions

  • Best practices for drug diversion investigations

  • Patient empowerment

  • Help for addicted staff and coworkers

  • Lower health and financial risk to patients, staff and hospitals
