HealthTrust presents…Virtual HTU: “Controlled Substances—Establishing Opioid Stewardship & Drug Diversion Prevention Programs”
This presentation will focus on the need for organizational infrastructure and data-driven metrics in the implementation of opioid stewardship programs at acute care hospitals. It will also highlight Mercy’s health system approach to addressing opioid stewardship, healthcare drug diversion and controlled substance regulatory requirements. Building these programs at the health system administration level resulted in the reduced need for local resources, prevention of duplicate efforts across the health system, and standardized controlled substance stewardship.
Learning Objectives | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the need for opioid stewardship implementation at acute care hospitals
- Identify key components of a successful opioid stewardship program
- Recall essential components to developing a drug diversion prevention program
Presenters:
Meghan Ha, PharmD | Applied Analytics & Health System Leadership Fellow | Wolters Kluwer Health & Community Health Systems (CHS)
