Simplify and Speed Up Your Drug Diversion Detection Process
A report1 from 2019 disclosed that there were almost 3,000 reports of "unaccounted for losses" of controlled drugs within the NHS in England during 2018 and 2019. Identifying a reason for loss of medication can be challenging. Even with automated medication management systems in place, reviewing patterns in data can be difficult and time consuming.
As strains on the NHS increase, this identification process is more tightly pressed and staff are more focused on patient care than report running and manipulation to identify risks. Generally, in the UK identification of diversion comes very late into the problem with the potential to have been resolved much earlier.
Omnicell Analytics is a diversion analytics tool that streamlines the process of managing potential medication diversion across a hospital. The simplicity and effectiveness of this web-based application saves valuable time and helps enable early detection of diversion.
