The Drug Enforcement Administration accused OU Health Pharmacy-OU Health Physicians Building of accepting blank-signed DEA Form-222s between 2020 and 2022. The forms are used to order controlled substances — in which a laboratory acts like a pharmacy as the “supplier” — to track the medications and avoid diversions.
The health system’s pharmacy provides controlled substances to patients, and historically served controlled substances to OU Health physician clinics.
Becker’s has reached out to the system for comment and will update the story if more information becomes available.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
