Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for identifying and tracking diverters of controlled medications. A system may receive signals indicative of medication dispensing activities by one or more health care providers such as nurses, physicians, or pharmacists. Based on the received signals, the system may determine one or more factor scores for each health care provider. The factor scores may be numerical indicators of potential diversion for corresponding factors related to usage, waste, dosage, or other factors. The factor scores may be combined to determine a total diversion score for each of one or more potential diverters.
