We all want the same thing: reducing diversion.
Imagine a world where healthcare professionals and organizations work together seamlessly to combat drug diversion. In this episode of 'Drug Diversion Insights with Terri Vidals', Tom Knight, the founder and CEO of Invistix and HealthcareDiversion.org, shares his journey and the groundbreaking work being done to tackle this critical issue. HealthcareDiversion.org is not just another nonprofit; it's a beacon of hope in the fight against drug diversion.
By pooling resources and fostering transparency, they've created a platform that houses vast amounts of data, sparking crucial conversations among stakeholders. One of the most compelling aspects of this episode is the emphasis on leveraging technology. With so many hands touching medications, detecting diversion can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. But with sophisticated software, it's possible to sift through mountains of data to pinpoint potential cases.
The episode also delves into the responsibilities of healthcare facilities in detecting and reporting diversion. While most clinicians are dedicated to patient care, a few bad apples can cause significant harm. This makes it vital to have robust reporting systems in place. Tom Knight doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges, either. From identifying subtle signs of diversion among colleagues to understanding the black market value of medications, the hurdles are many.
Yet, through collaboration and shared goals, progress is being made. Tune in to hear how Tom Knight and HealthcareDiversion.org are making strides in reducing drug diversion, and learn how you can be part of this essential movement.
