Drug diversion study using machine learning and advanced analytics
In 2022, the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy published a research study to develop a test for novel drug diversion detection methods. Improved diversion detection and reduction in diversion improves patient safety, limits harm to the person diverting, reduces the public health impact of a substance use disorder, and mitigates significant liability risk to pharmacists and their organizations.
I am excited, but not surprised, to see Sentri7 recognized as the #1 Infection Control and Monitoring solution. Its robust surveillance capabilities, responsive support team, and customizable features make it an essential tool for infection prevention teams.
