Why It Matters for Diversion Programs

This entry comes from a primary source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: Alleged diversion of controlled substances from facilities for personal use and repeated improper administration and wasting of controlled substances; complaints also alleged obtaining and ingesting steroids without a prescription, stealing saline syringes, impairment at work, and failed reasonable suspicion drug tests.. 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.
