Session 701: An Automated Approach to Drug Traceability Readiness
Speaker: Gary Lerner President Gateway Checker Corporation
Conference Track: Tech
This presentation will examine enhanced drug distribution security requirements and what it means for industry participants from an information exchange perspective. In short, the enhanced drug distribution security aspect of DSCSA mandates the exchange of a transaction record it each change of ownership.
By 2023, U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers will need to send serialized data, along with shipped product, to meet DSCSA traceability requirements. However, assessing drug traceability readiness can be inexact, time-consuming, and resource intensive. To achieve accurate, rapid, robust, and reliable connectivity with minimal errors, conformance to accepted standards is essential and can identify gaps in preparedness and inform compliance planning. Join this session to hear about an automated solution that can evaluate pharmaceutical manufacturers’ readiness.
- What information must be captured and exchange?
- What standards exist to support this?
- What are the challenges?
- How can an automated approach more effectively assure drug traceability readiness?
