Tackling Drug Diversion in Pediatric Hospitals: A Chat with Lacey Rodgers

Understanding the role that waste diversion may play in pediatrics compared to adults is just not something that all of the software solutions are able to detect and present to us in really meaningful ways, and how that impacts user scores is a bit unusual.
Ever wondered what makes pediatric hospitals different when it comes to tackling drug diversion? In this episode of 'Drug Diversion Insights with Terri Vidals', Terri sits down with Lacey Rodgers, the Diversion Officer at St. Louis Children's Hospital. They dive into the unique hurdles these hospitals face, such as waste diversion and the tricky task of spotting diversion in younger patients.
Lacey shares her thoughts on why education is crucial in prevention and how creating a supportive culture can make a world of difference. They also touch on cost-effective tools for detection and the importance of digging deep to find the root causes of diversion. If you're in healthcare and want to get a grip on reducing substance abuse and drug diversion, this conversation is packed with practical insights you won't want to miss.
