At 801 Consulting, we leverage our depth of technical expertise and talent for effective communication about complex issues to provide formal training on all issues related to pharmaceutical diversion. We focus training on best practices to implement specific regulations and on recognizing pharmaceutical diversion by educating our clients on how to identify, respond to, and investigate concerning circumstances.
We believe that preventing and identifying diversion begins with awareness. By educating healthcare providers, including prescribers, pharmacists, pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and narcotic treatment programs, as well as distributors, manufacturers, importers/exporters, and disposal companies about diversion and their compliance obligations in the controlled pharmaceutical supply chain, diversion can be identified and prevented.
