Many hospitals and pharmacies are still trying to understand what DSCSA compliance means for their operations, how to adapt current practices, and where to go for advice. The law itself—even when you make your way through all fifty-four pages—leaves plenty of room for interpretation.

Good news. Beginning today, TraceLink will feature a dispenser question and answer of the week. With nearly 200,000 dispensers on the TraceLink Life Sciences Cloud network, we have helped countless pharmacies and hospitals achieve compliance, fielded innumerable questions, and learned from your peers’ experiences. If your dispenser business has a DSCSA-related question, send it to questions@tracelink.com. Each week, we’ll select at least one and publish our response. This week, we’ve addressed a question from a recent webinar around how to document specific patient need.
