Why It Matters for Diversion Programs
This entry comes from a news source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: Allegedly diverted four Adderall tablets from a patient's medication pill packet, replaced them with four Seroquel tablets, and had no authorization to possess, obtain, furnish, or administer the Adderall herself.. Board and news records are a lagging indicator - by the time a licensing authority or a reporter learns of a diversion, the diversion was normally detected internally first, which makes each entry a signal that inventory reconciliation, waste observation or dispensing oversight failed earlier.
