Transferring Narcotic Infusion Between Hospitals

Hello,
Does anyone have a process in place for when you transfer a patient out on a narcotic infusion? Are there any regulations that require documentation from the receiving hospital? Any safeguards out in place to prevent diversion.

Also if you are a hospital that takes transferred pts, how do you handle the above scenario.

Thanks,
Nancy
