CS Drips: Why Every Handoff Counts in Spotting Diversion

Controlled substance drips and PCA infusions require meticulous oversight—but one of the most common vulnerabilities in medication security occurs during handoffs. In this Diversion Insights Quick Take, we explore why consistent chain-of-custody practices for controlled substance (CS) drips and PCAs are critical during nurse-to-nurse shift changes and department transfers. Poor handoff processes create blind spots that can obscure diversion risk while also exposing innocent staff to unnecessary scrutiny. In this episode, we cover: • Why volume checks and dual sign-offs matter • The importance of maintaining a clear chain of custody • How inconsistent handoffs create audit gaps • Why proper documentation protects both patients and staff • Practical steps to strengthen handoff protocols for CS drips and PCAs For nurses, diversion prevention teams, pharmacy leaders, and healthcare administrators, tightening these practices can dramatically improve both patient safety and diversion detection. Strong diversion mitigation starts with clear, consistent processes—and every handoff counts. 🔗 More from Rxpert Solutions https://www.rxpert.solutions/?utm_sou...
