As a member of this collaborative group, how will the College use the Framework to Improve the Safety and Security of Controlled Substances in Hospital High Risk Areas?

The members of the Partnered Table to Improve the Safety and Security of Controlled Substances in Hospital High Risk Areas, including the College, will work collaboratively to identify future opportunities to measure the impact of the recommendations from the framework on diversion within hospitals and to hear feedback on implementation.

College hospital operations advisors will be sharing and discussing the framework with hospital teams as part of their regular operational assessments in addition to activities and dialogue already underway during these visits regarding ensuring the security of Controlled Substances.

The sponsorship of the framework by the College is part of our Opioid Strategy. Therefore, the College will also focus on encouraging implementation of the recommendations within hospitals by working collaboratively with various health system stakeholders.
