In order to conduct an effective drug diversion investigation one must have specialized knowledge and understanding of the accountability system for controlled substances. This session will discuss how one follows the trail to assure accountability in pharmacy audits, long-term care audits, acute care systems, and anesthesia records. We will look at accountability from automated dispensing systems to individual dosage units. The session will look at appropriate documentation for the licensee as well as how to write your report so the audit is understandable and clear.
