Simulations provide an opportunity for healthcare professionals to practice situational awareness and identify potential diversion scenarios before they happen.
Imagine being able to spot potential drug diversion scenarios before they even happen. In this episode of 'Drug Diversion Insights', Terri Vidals sits down with Heidi McNeely, a seasoned healthcare professional, to discuss the power of simulations and networking in preventing drug diversion. McNeely explains how simulation technology can train healthcare staff to recognize and react to diversion risks, whether through high-tech setups or simple, resource-light scenarios.
She emphasizes the critical role of situational awareness, pointing out common pitfalls like multi-dose vials and weight-based dosing that can slip under the radar. Beyond simulations, McNeely underscores the value of building strong networks with other organizations. Sharing information and best practices can be a game-changer, especially when dealing with state licensing boards that might not act swiftly on reported diversions. The conversation also touches on the normalization of diversion practices, making vigilance and proactive measures all the more essential.
McNeely advocates for a combination of auditing tools and human vigilance to detect and prevent diversion effectively. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in healthcare looking to enhance their strategies against drug diversion.
