## Is Your Organization Mitigating Risk?

Think about all of the steps your organization takes in a day to ensure controlled substances aren't stolen or misused. Do you have a handle on all pharmaceutical transactions and a way to audit them? If not, you could be missing important information that could prevent risk to your organization’s reputation and finances, your workforce’s health, and the quality of care your patients receive. 

![](https://play.vidyard.com/PwYxZhkoiFZNghBazX2uhW.jpg)

> Every healthcare organization is responsible for creating a **controlled substance diversion prevention program** (CSDPP) that *“complies with applicable federal and state laws and regulations but also one that **applies technology and diligent surveillance** to routinely review process compliance and effectiveness, strengthen controls, and seek to **proactively prevent diversion**,"* and *“In organizations where controlled substances are used, **all staff should be educated about CSDPP**, including leadership oversight, legal and regulatory requirements, monitoring and surveillance, automation and technology, and pharmacy controls.”*

Without a CSDPP, detection and prevention of drug diversion of controlled substances can be difficult, posing a threat to your organization, workforce, and most importantly, patient safety. With today’s staffing challenges, many employees are often under a lot of pressure and may not be fully cognizant of specific processes — especially true of travel nurses, who are being heavily relied upon to fill open positions. Organizations want to prevent errors, misconduct, and even criminal charges, so having a CDSPP in place with proper education mitigates that risk. 

It can be tricky to know where to start in developing your own diversion prevention program to ensure you’re protecting your organization, workforce, patients, and community at-large. If you’d like to learn the **key elements of an optimal drug diversion prevention program**, download our free guide, Controlled Substance Diversion Monitoring Playbook.

“Awesome product and great customer service.”

Janelle Harrison

Vidant HealthServices

“The product is working with our various systems. One thing that sets Protenus’ system apart is its ability to feed data from multiple databases, such as our cabinets or our EHR, and put all of the information into one place so that we don’t have to go to multiple places.”

User

December 2020 KLAS Survey\*

"The contract negotiations were excellent. The vendor's staff is excellent; they are very personable, very friendly, and always quick to respond. We have had no problems with them. When rolling out the product, Protenus stuck to their timelines, and the timelines were very accurate. As soon as we provided the data, Protenus did what they said they would do and rolled the product out and had it ready to go. The implementation was excellent. I can’t complain about how the implementation went."
