RANDOLPH, NJ – August 27, 2017: In a move that promises to exponentially enhance drug inventory management, security, and regulatory compliance for veterinary practices of all sizes, Cubex LLC and The TITAN Group today announced a new partnership that makes TITAN’s expertise in physical security, drug diversion investigations, staff training, and legal compliance available to Cubex’s clients nationally.
“Every veterinary practice and healthcare provider buying and handling controlled substances is at risk today,” said TITAN founder and CEO, Jack Teitelman. “In the current world of widespread opioid abuse, many unsuspecting providers remain in the dark until their drugs are stolen or missing. Thanks to Cubex, TITAN will now be there to help shine a light on vulnerabilities.” Teitelman, a former DEA Special Supervisory Agent with nearly three decades of experience investigating drug-related crimes, pointed out that inadequate security and failure to prevent drug diversion can cost a practice in lost inventory, damage to reputation, and potential physical harm to staff and patients.
Teitelman went on to explain that the opioid abuse crisis has also led to increased scrutiny by government regulatory agencies. DEA, for example, can seek fines of $14,500 per incident for missing, inaccurate, or inadequate controlled substances records.Cubex solutions provide both the required security for keeping controlled substances secure as well as real-time, automated drug logs and will now facilitate access to TITAN’s services helping veterinary practices improve compliance and prepare for future audits and inspections.
The Cubex/TITAN partnership will create a bundle of physical security assessments, compliance audits, and staff training services available to all Cubex customers through special pricing and incentives. Cubex sees this new partnership as a way to give its customers additional value and enhanced peace of mind. “Inventory management and inventory security is an often overlooked yet very significant expenditure for veterinary hospitals,” said Cubex President and CEO, Anton Visser. “The ability to help our customers optimize inventory efficiencies while adding an extra layer of protection is huge.”
