(prHWY.com) February 13, 2013 - Fremont, CA -- Description:
Given the potent, double-edged nature of drugs; preventing their illicit use is as important as using them for the right reasons. The DEA has regulations in this regard, and understanding them is very important if drugs have to put to proper use.

This webinar will offer an understanding of how to prevent the illicit use or diversion of any controlled substance by hospital staff. It focuses on two important aspects concerning this -a better understanding of Due Diligence and what suggested DEA compliance should look like in order to identify any dispensing or drug disposal that could be classified as suspicious in nature, as well as what actions management can take to prevent the diversion of drugs by their employees.

It will offer various recommendations to improve the hospital's Due Diligence when dispensing Schedules II through V controlled substances in a hospital setting. It will also consider the steps that hospital settings can take to detect and prevent the illicit use or diversion of any controlled substance.
This session will cover the following areas:
o DEA Office of Diversion Control
