We excel at what we do. Rxpert Solutions gives you access to a team with years of hospital pharmacy experience, an outside perspective, and the skill set for finding risks and monitoring for drug diversion.

A comprehensive on-site review of your current processes is necessary to identify areas of risk. A comprehensive drug diversion prevention and monitoring program must look for ways to improve controlled substance security, thereby minimizing the avenues for diversion.
The most dangerous time for the staff member with a substance use disorder is at the time of confrontation and after the employee is removed from the facility. Special attention needs to be focused on this area and our team will partner with the facility to provide appropriate and compassionate intervention techniques.
An important piece of a diversion program is consistent and thorough monitoring. Does your facility have an effective drug diversion monitoring program? It’s simple: if your facility has not proactively found suspected diversion in the last year, you do not have an effective monitoring program. Rxpert Solutions can change that.
Much time and energy may be devoted to monitoring for drug diversion, and once suspected, even more time to gathering data and reviewing audit findings. Unfortunately, the findings may then be turned over to someone who lacks experience or skill at conducting an interview.
Federal and state laws address the need for controlled substance monitoring and reporting of loss or theft. Every facility needs to know where all of the controlled substances are at any given time and have a process in place to confirm that there are no losses or thefts.

The different disciplines within a facility work as a team. If a member of the team is not following safe medication practice or is engaged in drug diversion, the whole team is at risk. Each staff member is responsible for following policies and procedures and working while not under the influence of substances.
