Theft prevention is a topic worth discussing in the realm of Healthcare organizations but more specifically within Pharmacies. In a study of identifying which respective business activity was more susceptible to drug theft and loss, Pharmacies took the biggest hit in 2015 experiencing roughly 64.4% of all the losses. In evaluating the total losses of Pharmacy organizations, it was found that roughly 22.1% was due to employee pilferage.
The growing concern in how to combat these incidents from occurring, is the foundational question that many Pharmacy organizations are left trying to answer. Not to mention the growing pressure that is being passed on to respective organizations by the DEA . In this regard, it is important that Pharmacies remain proactive in deciphering how to minimize their overall risk. For starters, asking the right questions when evaluating business security needs is the necessary first step to finding a solution. When researching the possible options, consider the following factors:
- What is my budget?
- Can the system scale and be easily implemented?
- How secure do I want it?
That said, narrowing down the organizations respective needs allows for better evaluation when reviewing feasible security options. Though, it should come to no surprise the amount of available options in today’s market. With such a vast amount of offerings, it can get a bit overwhelming in finding the best solution. Not to mention, that many of the offerings may be expensive and require heavy installation.
Given the array of options, one key system has garnered widespread attention within the healthcare community. The security system is known as NarcLock.
