If a facility looks at the risk of not having something like this in place, it's almost more damaging, when something occurs, to not be able to have all this already set up and the buy-in to make the changes to put a full hospital-wide drug diversion prevention program in place.
Ever wondered how hospitals keep drugs from being misused? This episode of 'Drug Diversion Insights' dives into just that. Terri Vidals chats with William Humphrey, the pharmacy director, and Alex Rodriguez, the compliance program manager, both from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. They share their experience in setting up a Drug Diversion Task Force and the positive impact it's had.
You'll hear about the clever use of artificial intelligence to spot unusual activities and how waste management plays a role in keeping everything in check. The duo also stresses the importance of having a mix of voices in the committee and what can go wrong if such a task force isn’t in place. If you're curious about making hospitals safer or work in healthcare, this episode offers practical advice and real-world insights.
Tune in to learn how you can apply these strategies in your own setting.
