What is an outcome of medication misappropriation?

The outcome of medication misappropriation is financial hardship for clients. When medications are misappropriated, it often leads to theft or diversion of these resources. This can create a significant burden on clients who rely on these medications for their health and well-being, as they may face higher costs to replace lost or stolen medications, or they may not have access to the medications they need.

In addition to the immediate financial implications, this situation can also lead to larger systemic issues, such as increased healthcare costs for the system overall, as individuals may require more medical attention when their medication needs aren’t being met. Financial hardship can strain relationships between clients and care providers, as clients may find it difficult to maintain their health and wellness without necessary medications.
