Controlled Drug Logging - DEA's Perspective

Controlled Drug Logging – DEA's Perspective

Recordkeeping is a major challenge for most veterinary facilities with both the DEA and TITAN data indicating that ~96% of all practices will fail a DEA Inspection due to errors with recordkeeping.  The DEA does not dictate how your facility captures the required information – Whether your facility uses paper logs, an excel spreadsheet, or one of the new software platforms, the information that needs to be captured, reconciled, and maintained is the same and critical for you to pass an inspection. 

Delve into the intricacies of DEA compliance, focusing on record-keeping and the challenges in the veterinary industry. This course, led by Jack Teitelman, a former DEA Supervisory Special Agent with 26 years of experience, provides a unique insight into the DEA's role in drug diversion and compliance.

Whether you are in veterinary medicine or a related field, this course offers vital knowledge to ensure compliance and efficient management of controlled drugs.
