Hospital pharmacy manager diverted hydromorphone, methadone and morphine from a CII safe using unused transaction types
2024-07

Indiana Muncie, IN |
Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital, Inc. | hydromorphone, methadone, morphine sulfate | Between approximately November 2020 and July 2024, a pharmacist serving as the hospital's pharmacy manager used normally-unused transaction types in the automated inventory management system to remove controlled substances from the CII safe and take personal possession of them, using his duty of stocking controlled substances at affiliated outpatient pain and orthopedic centers as cover. The hospital's controlled-substance tracking policies did not include regular auditing or comparison of patient utilization at those centers, CII Safe Review Sale reports, or All CII Safe Events reports, which allowed the discrepancies to go undetected. | not stated | The hospital's pharmacy license and controlled substances registration were placed on indefinite probation for not less than three years, with quarterly outside audits for the first two years, two unannounced compliance inspections, required diversion-prevention training for pharmacy leadership, and a $44,000 fine; the hospital reported the loss to the DEA and Board in July 2024 and filed an amended DEA Form 106 in November 2024, and in August 2025 the county prosecutor's office filed charges against the pharmacist. | none documented | source |

What each column does and doesn't cover
Every case states When (date) and Where (state) — 931 of 931. Beyond that, a blank cell means the source record does not state that fact, not that it did not happen:
- Setting: stated in 850 of 931 cases (91%)
- Drug: stated in 858 of 931 cases (92%)
- Method: stated in 675 of 931 cases (73%)
- Prosecution status: stated in 675 of 931 cases (73%); a documented penalty (fine, settlement, or restitution) exists for 107 of 931 cases (11%)
- Role: stated in only 255 of 931 cases (27%) — filtering or sorting by role silently hides the rest of the registry, which may still describe the same role in prose without a structured field
