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: suspected of stealing more than 24,000 painkillers and 25 vials of testosterone over five years. 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.
