Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for detecting diversion in drug dispensing transactions are provided. The systems and methods described provide an integrated platform for collecting and analyzing data that describes a user's drug dispensing transactions and determines a diversion score for the user that indicates the relative severity of the user's diversion activities. The diversion score may be weighted to reflect the relative importance of a respective category of diversion activity to the identification of drug diverters with respect to other categories. Furthermore, in determining a user's diversion score, the user's transaction data may be compared with transaction data regarding the user's peers. In this way, for example, high diversion scores may indicate a high occurrence of suspicious activity, and users having high diversion scores may be further monitored and investigated to determine whether the particular user is indeed diverting drugs for illegitimate use.
