Avoiding Penalties: Failure to comply can lead to hefty fines, legal action, and criminal charges, especially in cases of intentional diversion or malpractice.

Professional Reputation: Compliance demonstrates ethical practices and commitment to patient care, helping maintain the facility’s reputation and trust within the community.

Operational Integrity: Maintaining compliance ensures uninterrupted facility operations, avoiding costly corrective actions, legal fees, increased inspections, and time away from patient care.
