In healthcare, impairment and drug diversion put patients at direct risk. Nurses, techs, and providers have access to controlled substances, so healthcare programs test broadly and confirm definitively.
Why healthcare tests
Patient safety, licensing-board expectations, and accreditation all drive testing. Diversion of fentanyl and other opioids is a specific concern, so expanded panels and definitive confirmation matter more here than almost anywhere.
The right program for clinical staff
Use a 14-panel with fentanyl coverage, add for-cause testing for suspected diversion, and confirm everything by LC-MS/MS.

Diversion is the theft or misuse of controlled substances by staff with access — a major patient-safety risk that expanded testing helps deter and detect.
Which panel is best for healthcare?
A 14-panel with fentanyl coverage and LC-MS/MS confirmation is the common choice.
