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: removed fentanyl from a medication safe without a written order or documentation; failed to document administration or wasting of controlled substances; wasted oxycodone without allowing a witness to verify the medication; delayed wasting of controlled substances. 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.
