Dawn, who recently earned her doctorate with a dissertation focused on drug diversion, brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective to our discussion. While her current role does not oversee the drug diversion program, Dawn's expertise in this area is undeniable. We'll explore her background and delve into why she chose drug diversion as the subject of her doctoral research. Dawn will share her insights on some surprising discoveries from her dissertation and discuss the prevalent issue of ambivalence towards drug diversion among front-line staff and management. We'll also address strategies for initiating conversations about potential diversion when early data seems off but isn't yet conclusive. How can we approach these delicate discussions without making staff feel accused? Finally, we'll explore which department should ideally oversee drug diversion programs. Dawn will share her thoughts on whether such programs should report to Compliance and how a multidisciplinary committee might impact this perspective.
