Drug diversion refers to a healthcare worker taking prescription drugs meant for patients either to use or sell. A recent survey by Invistics found that despite 98% of healthcare executives agreeing that drug diversion occurs in hospitals, nearly four in five healthcare executives surveyed (79%) believe that most drug diversion goes undetected.
According to the survey, 40% of executives are very confident in the efficacy of their drug diversion detection programs, with a majority (67%) of executives planning to strengthen their drug diversion efforts in 2023.
