SureCount Cost Analysis

Medication diversion costs the healthcare industry more than $70 billion annually.

10% of healthcare workers will divert drugs at some point in their careers.

Will your facility need to investigate missing medication within the next 20 months?

Will one of those investigations be founded within the next 28 years?

If the answer to either question is yes, SureCount will save you money.


SureCount costs the average facility just $3,600 per year for software that covers the entire facility, and also includes pharmacy integration for ADT + HL7 prescriptions (if the pharmacy has an integration point).

Take a look at the estimated range of costs for a single diversion event, detailed in the table below. Just one founded diversion could cost a facility or company enough money to cover the cost of SureCount for a quarter of a century!

How certain is it that your facility won’t experience a diversion in the next 25 years, using paper recordkeeping?

One of the most common ways that diversion happens is through theft of manipulation of paper records, which SureCount removes completely, lowering risk.
