In the world of healthcare, drug diversion isn’t just a compliance issue — it’s a ticking time bomb. One misstep in medication handling can lead to regulatory fines, patient harm, or even criminal investigations.
Whether you’re running a pharmacy, managing a hospital, or overseeing a clinical team, having a drug diversion expert by your side isn’t optional —it’s your first line of defense.
If you’re ready to bring in experienced support, Rxpert Solutions offers complimentary strategy calls to help you assess your current risk and outline next steps.

What is a Drug Diversion Expert, Really?
A drug diversion expert is a certified consultant who helps healthcare facilities:
- Detect and reduce the risk of controlled substance misuse
- Conduct audits of medication workflows and storage
- Train staff on diversion red flags, documentation, and reporting
- Support internal investigations and regulatory follow-ups
- Design systems for safer, more compliant drug handling
Some consultants come from clinical pharmacy backgrounds, others from DEA or law enforcement. What matters most is their ability to assess, advise, and implement mitigation strategies that work in real-world clinical environments.

The Risk is Real — But So is the Opportunity
When hospitals and pharmacies fail diversion inspections, it’s rarely because of one major oversight.
It’s usually because of multiple small gaps that were never addressed.
That’s where an expert assessment makes all the difference.
Here’s how a facility looks before vs after a comprehensive risk assessment from a drug diversion consultant:
| Risk Area | Without Assessment | After Risk Assessment |
| Waste Accountability | Inconsistent or incomplete | Risk points identified; recommendations for tracking improvements |
| Staff Awareness | Unclear on red flags and reporting | Gaps identified; training needs outlined |
| Policies | Lacking baseline for accountability | Gaps identified; recommendations for changes to policies |
| Medication Access | Vulnerabilities in chain of custody | Workflow vulnerabilities identified and improvements suggested |
| Inspection Readiness | Scramble when regulators arrive | Improved readiness and confidence |
🧠 Important: As a diversion expert, you don’t “fix” these issues — but you give facilities the clarity and structure to do so effectively.

What Services Should a Drug Diversion Expert Offer?
A capable diversion expert should offer more than a checklist—they should build systems designed for your unique environment. Look for firms that provide:
- On-site or virtual facility audits
- Risk scoring and mitigation roadmaps
- Diversion investigation support
- Customized training for clinical and pharmacy staff
- Policy and protocol evaluation
- Ongoing compliance consulting
No two facilities are the same, and your mitigation plan shouldn’t be either.
