Drug diversion in hospitals has been called healthcare’s hidden epidemic. It is important to ensure controlled substances are readily available in surgical settings but pharmacy’s limited visibility to utilization puts organizations at risk for diversion. Many hospitals today have a manual diversion monitoring process that is resource-and time-intensive. Left undetected, diversion can lead to serious patient safety issues, harm to the diverter and liability risk to the organization.
BD HealthSight™ Diversion Management is a hosted software application that utilizes advanced analytics powered by machine learning. Based on a variety of signals, the software compares an individual's behavior with a dynamically selected peer group across an in-patient facility and generates individual risk scores. Behaviors that contribute to the risk score are also specified, which may be potential areas of investigative focus. The software application also automates the manual reconciliation process and automatically flags discrepancies that may require investigation. Dashboards and reporting solutions support monitoring compliance and an investigation workflow assists with drug diversion investigations.
