Meds accessible during stops
In the middle of a chaotic call, narcotics stored in basic lockboxes are often left unsecured for the sake of speed. This creates easy opportunities for diversion in parking lots, hospital bays, or even during transport. Worse — without tracking tied to individuals, there’s zero traceability if a medication goes missing.
No shared platform
EMS providers are already stretched thin. Relying on handwritten logs means records are often incomplete, lost, or forged after the fact. During a DEA inspection, even small discrepancies can result in failed audits, fines, and disciplinary action — not to mention the time wasted reconciling bad paperwork.
Single PIN
When multiple crew members share a single PIN code, accountability disappears. If narcotics go missing, there’s no way to identify who accessed them. This not only enables diversion but also creates distrust within the team, as suspicion falls on everyone instead of the responsible party.
