ADMs offer several key reports that can aid in preventing and detecting controlled-substance diversion.

Drugs of Concern
Cocaine (ADD) Hydromorphone
Dextromethorphan (ADD) Ketamine
Fentanyl Oxycodone
Hydrocodone Tramadol


A joint policy between pharmacy and nursing can delineate the handling, administration, and wasting of narcotics and controlled substances.

Handling and Documenting Expired and Wasted Narcotics: Make use of a locked drop box to secure expired and/or wasted narcotics in the pharmacy, and require that narcotic waste be documented and co-signed. Using a “medication pending destruction” report, match waste entries with inventory collected, and then assign at least two pharmacists to verify, document (DEA 41), and destroy the narcotics upon authorization from the Bureau of Drug Enforcement/Control.
