Not just ‘why,’ but ‘how’

Miracles still happen. In the fall of 2013, the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate passed the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA), a bill that will regulate compounding pharmacies and would impose a phased-in nationwide serialization and e-pedigree regulation.

If the DQSA is signed into law by the President, as most expect, several things will happen right away. First and foremost, all current state and federal serialization and pedigree laws (yes, including California) will be preempted. This will result in the elimination of the frequently discussed “patchwork” of U.S. drug pedigree laws in one fell swoop—to be replaced with a single approach to supply chain security as outlined in Title II of the DQSA.

So the “why” of drug serialization may have become clearer, but the “how” is still a challenge. Success in both strategizing and implementing a serialization program can only be guaranteed with a structured approach where all stakeholders are on board from the beginning—not just at the execution stage.

This Playbook from Healthcare Packaging is your roadmap to achieving serialization success. It will arm you, not only for meeting e-pedigree requirements, but also for convincing top management to start a global serialization program NOW for complete visibility into your supply chain, and to reap the resulting business benefits.
