ABSTRACT
Substance use disorder in health care professionals may adversely affect patient care. To reduce the risks of harm, raising awareness among all staff for early identification and response is a primary goal. Knowledgeable co-workers play an essential role to identify signs and behaviors indicating at-risk substance use by observed impairment or suspicion of drug diversion and report to a supervisor. Response protocol for a timely, confidential, safe and non-punitive intervention can help connect the clinician to needed assessment and treatment help and potentially save a life and provide a hopeful outcome to retain their license and career.
