Moving from Manual to ADCs Created a Data Gap
CHKD had a manual, paper-based controlled substance auditing process and a full-time pharmacist dedicated to dispensing medications and reconciling discrepancies, but the time and staff cost was too much to sustain.

There was no way to match the ADC dispensing data with the EMR administration data which left a big gap for diversion activities to go unnoticed.
Dr. Andrew Stanley, CHKD’s Pharmacy Support Manager, understood the risk and knew he needed automation that tracked dispensing, administration, and waste together and made it clear where issues needed to be addressed.
“I wondered how we could tweak our monitoring procedures and what we could pull together from other processes and enterprise IT systems.” Dr. Andrew Stanley, CHKD
