The DEA is changing the process for reporting loss of controlled substances

The DEA is changing the process for reporting loss of controlled substances.

Effective July 24, 2023, the process for reporting lost controlled substances will be fully electronic. In addition, the timing and steps for reporting have also been clarified. Is your facility ready to comply? Do you know what steps to take in case of a suspected diversion? In this week’s newsletter to our clients, we address these questions and more. If you need guidance on this topic or would like us to help you enhance patient safety and regulatory compliance, contact us for a free initial consultation.
