Healthcare providers are faced with unique challenges when it comes to handling and disposing of pharmaceutical waste. Nurses and healthcare workers handling controlled substances have responsibilities under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) including maintaining a properly documented chain of custody. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is tasked with enforcing the CSA and addressing concerns with inventory management and regulatory compliance.
Maintaining a controlled substance chain of custody is critical for the safety of patients and healthcare workers as well as reducing liability to the organization. Drug diversion is not always easy to detect, especially with the numerous access points in the chain of custody for controlled substances (CS). CS waste is a critical access point that must be strictly monitored with employees disposing of CS waste according to an organization’s policies and procedures and with compliance to DEA drug disposal regulations.
The frequency of drug diversion has increased amidst the national opioid epidemic, with healthcare workers at a high risk for addiction and drug diversion without a solid controlled substance chain of custody and CS waste program.
