According to the latest research from the American Hospital Association, hospitals spent an estimated $39 billion a year to maintain compliance while facing complex challenges and the mounting costs of keeping up with an ever-changing body of federal and state rules and regulations. The same organization highlighted that hospitals are overburdened by regulatory requirements and found thatan average-sized hospital dedicates about 59 FTEs to regulatory compliance, and now due to COVID-19, these dedicated resources have often been furloughed or reallocated.

As a former health system drug diversion investigator, I have experienced the ongoing responsibilities these professionals have to the organization. They manually comb through audit dispense transactions when there is suspected diversion. They also constantly look for ways to improve audit efficiency while working with organizational leadership who are responsible for ensuring a myriad of regulations, guidelines, and industry best practices for drug diversion monitoring and prevention, while keeping associated costs as low as possible.
Our team participates in the HCCA/SCCE Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week in honor of our clients—the healthcare compliance teams across the country that combine the power of artificial intelligence with their great expertise and leadership to ensure a culture of compliance throughout their organizations. These professionals ensure their institutions work efficiently, reduce risk, and maintain the trust of patients who seek care within their hospitals and health systems. Our team at Protenus will be celebrating these professionals in a number of ways throughout Corporate Compliance and Ethics Week.
