Drug Diversion in the Anesthesia Profession: How Can Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation Help Everyone Be Safe? Report of a Meeting Sponsored by the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation.

Diversion in the workplace can adversely impact the safety of healthcare professionals and patients. The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) believes that substance use disorder, diversion in the workplace, and their potential adverse effects on patient safety need to be addressed through open discussion, education, research, policy, and possible other interventions. To make progress in this area, the APSF convened a conference entitled "Drug Diversion in the Anesthesia Profession: How Can APSF Help Everyone Be Safe?" in Phoenix, Arizona, on September 7, 2017 (Supplemental Digital Content, Document, http://links.lww.com/AA/C616).
