The Opioid epidemic has been at the forefront of recent headlines before the COVID-19 pandemic. The DEA has been handing out record fines to controlled substance manufactures, distributors, and dispensers for their roles in fueling this epidemic.
What if these companies had an intelligent solution that could identify and prevent an order of 10,000 oxycodone pills from being fulfilled when the buyers’ average order was just 1,000 pills over the last six months?
Should they have fulfilled or flagged it? And what if the buyer has a different address from where this oxycodone is being shipped — again, fulfill or flag?
SOM
The Suspicious Order Monitoring Solution “SOM” for controlled substances is powered by Axway Decision Insight which uses Operational Intelligence.
This new technology allows customers to execute operations flawlessly. Axway Decision Insight provides essential benefits that other products don’t provide:

- Rapid turnaround allows you to adapt as you go.
Operational Intelligence
OI delivers real-time monitoring that can find suspicious orders under the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Suspicious Order Monitoring Regulations (21 C.F.R. 1301.74(b)).
This solution can easily be configured to identify suspicious controlled substance ordering activity based on unusual ordering frequency, abnormal order sizes, and deviations from normal order patterns.
When the Axway SOM solution encounters a suspicious order in progress, it generates an API so the order can be held, flagged, and a notification is then sent to compliance personnel. The Axway SOM Solution through CSOS Validation or signing process ensures compliance within specified defined business rules.
SOM implementation
For SOM to be implemented, there are four steps to take:
- Step one: Start with business and compliance rules.
- Create a validation process with Axway Decision Insight to identify non-compliance orders.
- Next, when an order is received that falls out of compliance, it’s then quarantined before being fulfilled.
- Once the order is identified, they are either accepted or rejected.
More than just a solution
Operational Intelligence is more than just a solution or a band-aid approach, OI provides real-time insights so your customer’s expectations are met.
Four key benefits:
- Data collection: Gain better insights with a vast variety of data such as logs, databases, MQ, applications.
- Real-time analytics: With REST-API-enabled capabilities, you can inject external statistical models or connect with APIs to share information, providing better transparency.
- Time management: OI handles time zone capabilities and analyzes situations in real time for a better overview.
- Dashboards and alerts: With a Dashboard editor to modify layout and content, you can adjust in real time without suspending the operational intelligence. You can also generate alerts via such as email and third-party tools.
