Training Begets DEA Compliance in a Big Way!

Every DEA registrant and their team needs to fully understand the DEA requirements. However, the regulations are complex and wide-ranging. Training is the perfect solution for maintaining full compliance!

Every physician, dentist, veterinarian, pharmacy and hospital that prescribes, administers or dispenses controlled substances in the USA is required to get registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). These registrants are subject to a host of regulations that are designed to curtail the misuse, abuse and diversion of the controlled substances as they can lead to addiction and other health risks.

The regulations cover everything from the ordering and prescribing of the scheduled drugs to the security, inventory, recordkeeping and reporting. The DEA maintains constant oversight with inspections and audits on a regular basis. Any hint of non-compliance can invite an investigation, and the consequences can be detrimental.

Therefore, staying in compliance is crucial and DEA compliance training is the key to ensuring that DEA registrants and their staff are fully cognizant of the regulations and can abide by them at all times.
