At Cleveland Clinic, you will work alongside passionate and dedicated caregivers, receive endless support and appreciation and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world. 


As part of our efforts to develop strategies for drug diversion prevention, the Department of Pharmacy has been working to identify software that aggregates data across our medication use processes to detect anomalous behavior and standardize investigation processes. After evaluation of multiple vendors, we have selected Bluesight ControlCheck. Through artificial intelligence and machine learning, this software mines data from multiple systems, such as our Pyxis machines, Epic, Kronos, etc., to identify patterns of behavior from clinicians to identify diversion. It will reduce what takes hours of manual data analysis to minutes. This role would support the development of a proactive and reactive auditing strategy and assist with data analytics.

  • Monitor and evaluate the completion of monthly inspections conducted by the site manager.  

  • Develop and modify policies and procedures for approval by department leadership.

  • A high school diploma or GED. 

  • Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) verified through the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB).
