Dispensers: Streamline Compliance with All Suppliers

October 9, 2015

The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) requires manufacturers, wholesalers, and dispensers to provide supply chain traceability for prescription drugs distributed in the United States. The FDA’s enforcement discretion for dispensers ends on November 1, 2015. Do you have a compliance solution in place?

You may work with a wholesale distributor who uses TraceLink. If so, you have access to compliance documentation for products purchased from them through TraceLink’s portal, as a network partner. But how will you manage compliance data from all of your other trading partners? As a TraceLink customer, you would be able to connect with all of your suppliers through one platform, access all compliance data in one central repository, and archive that data for the six-year time period required by law. Understand what it means to be a TraceLink network partner, as well as the advantages of becoming a TraceLink customer.
