Using the Just Culture Algorithm to Address Suspected Drug Diversion

I think what we want to highlight and have the conversation is that people assume that, because individuals who have chronic substance use disorder appear to be fully functioning, you can drive, you can get dressed, you can arrive at work on time and therefore you are, you're competent, your decisions and the quality of your choices can be evaluated by the traditional sense.
How do healthcare facilities fairly address suspected drug diversion while maintaining a supportive environment? In this episode of 'Drug Diversion Insights with Terri Vidals', we hear from Becky Doerhoff, Director of Patient Safety & Clinical PI at Barens Jewish Hospital, and Amanda Hays, Director of Medical Affairs at BD. They break down the Just Culture algorithm, a framework designed to balance accountability and learning in healthcare settings.
Becky and Amanda share real-world examples of how this approach can be applied to situations involving impaired healthcare professionals or those suspected of drug diversion. They also discuss the often-overlooked impact of substance use disorders on decision-making and the importance of creating fair and consistent policies. This conversation is packed with practical advice and insights that could change the way you think about handling drug diversion in your facility.
