The final phase of the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) requires that physical product shipments across the pharmaceutical supply chain be accompanied by matching item-level compliance data at each transfer of ownership. The most efficient and effective way to ensure that pharmaceutical product transactions are DSCSA-compliant is to verify that you have the correct Transaction Information and Transaction Statements—also known as T2 information—using TraceLink Smart Inventory Tracker.
In this interview, TraceLink Solution Consultants Ashley Murdock and Christine Kearns discuss the key benefits of Smart Inventory Tracker for pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesale distributors, health system dispensers, and retail pharmacies. Both Christine Kearns and Ashley Murdock are DSCSA compliance experts with extensive experience guiding manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and health system and retail pharmacies on how to navigate highly complex and evolving DSCSA requirements. They also explain why Smart Inventory Tracker is a critical tool as the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain makes the switch from lot-level traceability to item-level serialization.
