Description
TraceLink’s Digital Recalls application is being developed streamline and improve the product recalls process by creating a closed-loop digital recalls network that enables centralized digital recall management of product recalls for MAHs / pharmaceutical companies, pharmacy dispensers / healthcare organizations, reverse logistics providers, and other entities in the supply chain.
Benefits
TraceLink’s Digital Recalls solution is designed to enable a high performance digital recall communication and response network for the drug and medical device supply chain. The current recalls process for pharmaceutical and medical devices is manual, time-consuming, error-prone, and reliant upon paper-based communications and tracking. This means recalled products remain in the supply chain due to inefficient practices, putting patients at risk. TraceLink Digital Recalls enhances your insights into the recalls process, increases recall efficiency, and enhances patient safety by helping remove recalled products faster and more completely.
- Develop the ability to execute faster and more precise recalls with a streamlined notification and response process
- Help achieve greater recall response rates, higher recall effectiveness, and faster closure by leveraging a digital communications network
- Reduce paper processes, associated execution costs of paper supply chain notifications, manual labor across the recall process
- More quickly identify and engage consignees and network participants potentially affected by the product recalls
- Improve information shared with sites and facilities to increase internal ability to identify, quarantine, and cull recalled product from inventory
- Help prevent recalled product from dispensing to patients
