Verification Router Service Moves from Theoretical to Practical

Work advances on look-up directories and testing. Live poll results show that most manufacturers plan to respond to requests using a solution provider participating in a VRS network.

As we've reported in the past, Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA) has been bringing together various stakeholders to discuss critical business requirements as service provider companies develop a verification router service (VRS) network as an option for compliance with the 2019 DSCSA saleable returns requirement (click here for previous coverage).

A VRS is an interoperable solution used to manage the acceptance, formatting and delivery of requests and responses in order to support DSCSA verification requirements and other business requirements as defined between trading partners.

At the 2018 HDA Traceability Seminar in Washington, D.C., this October, presenters gave an update on development and addressed attendees’ readiness, concerns and more.

Update

Several months ago, HDA reported that development had taken three paths: establishing governance processes; creating testing scenarios; and launching the testing phase.

At the Traceability Seminar, speakers explained that the group used the first part of the year to develop requirements and specifications for features such as request/response messaging and look-up directories (LDs).
