Signs of Tampering/Drug Diversion Suspect is acting suspicious and may be doing the following: –Taking a great deal of time off or always on-duty or in the hospital when not on-duty –Extended unexplained absences –Extended restroom breaks –Mood swings –Personal life issues –Coming in early, staying late –Always where they shouldn’t be or not where they should be –Dealing with patients who require pain medications –Nervousness, nausea, change in behavior
If you suspect tampering Call FDA/OCI immediately Call FDA/OCI immediately –Even if only a mere suspicion – let us do our job and reduce your liability –Don’t wait until someone gets hurt –Collect and segregate evidence – chain of custody – but don’t talk to suspect and don’t conduct a full investigation Press/Discovery Issues Press/Discovery Issues –Why it is better to be a part of the solution instead of being part of the problem
Course of Action by FDA/OCI Arrange for interview of MedExec/Hospital Staff or delegate (away from suspect) Arrange for interview of MedExec/Hospital Staff or delegate (away from suspect) Obtain documents and evidence Obtain documents and evidence Initiate investigation Initiate investigation –Surveillance –Interviews –Cameras (non-private areas) –Subpoenas directed towards suspect
Review 1.Not every drug theft is a tampering case. Not every tampering case is going to get prosecuted. 2.Must be an adulteration of the product, its container, or its labeling. 3.As a result of the tampering, there must be the risk of death or any bodily injury – just the risk! 4.Take custody of any suspected tampered drug products – minimize handling and maintain chain of custody. Check remaining sources – or ask us to check as soon as possible. 5.Engage OCI as soon as possible. This is a Federal crime – not a state or local police department matter.
Concealing Unlawful Activity 1.Telling patients or staff to not tell anyone. 2. Destroying or altering documents to conceal the activity or minimize liability. 3. Lying to any regulatory or law enforcement agency. 4. Withholding information/documents pertinent to the investigation.
