Nonprofit Launches National Network to Track All Drug Diversion Within Hospitals and Health Systems to Combat Opioid Crisis
The Healthcare Diversion Network, a nonprofit association dedicated to preventing drug diversion, announced the launch of HealthCareDiversion.org, a first-of-its-kind forum that aims to compile all known healthcare diversion incidents into a single national database. The new online forum is the first step in building national dialogue and transparency around one of the most critical, yet often unspoken, risks associated with the opioid crisis.
HealthCareDiversion.org’s mission is to:
- Prevent diversion from harming patients and their families
- Deter diversion while giving addicted coworkers the help they need
- Strengthen communities by preventing overdoses and the resale of stolen drugs
- Safeguard reputations by helping healthcare facilities lead the charge against the national opioid epidemic
