Hosp Secur Saf Manage. 1996 Oct;17(6):5-9.
Theft and drug diversion by employees from hospital pharmacies pose increasing security concerns for institutions as evidenced by the indictment in May 1996 by an Onondaga County, Syracuse, NY, grand jury of four men--one an associate hospital pharmacy director--on charges relating to the theft and resale of more than $3 million in prescription drugs from two Syracuse hospitals over an eight-year period. The drugs were used to treat cancer patients. In this report, we'll give you in-depth details of what was stolen and how it was stolen. We'll present some advice from experts on how to prevent your hospital from becoming vulnerable to such large-scale losses. And we'll give you insight into a vast black market that may indicate that what took place at the two Syracuse hospitals may not be an isolated occurrence.
员工从医院药房盗窃和挪用药品的行为，给各机构带来了日益严重的安全隐患。1996年5月，纽约州锡拉丘兹奥农多加县的一个大陪审团起诉了四名男子，其中一人是医院药房副主任，指控他们在八年时间里从锡拉丘兹的两家医院盗窃并转售了价值超过300万美元的处方药，这些药品原本是用于治疗癌症患者的，这一事件便是明证。在本报告中，我们将向您详细介绍被盗物品以及盗窃方式。我们将提供专家建议，说明如何防止您的医院遭受此类大规模损失。我们还将深入剖析一个庞大的黑市，这可能表明锡拉丘兹两家医院发生的事情并非孤立事件。
