Webinar: Coming down the DSCSA stretch

The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) has its final deadline approaching in November 2023. To confirm that only trusted entities are involved in the exchange of prescription drugs, one of the lesser thought-about elements mandates that the required data exchange through the supply chain is only done with authorized and registered trading partners.

The heavy lifting being done within the pharmaceutical industry to prepare for compliance is still ongoing. Join top experts for this important discussion to make sure you and your organization are fully in-the-know for meeting all key deadlines. Implementing automated credentialing and verification of authorized trading partners is relatively new, so having a clear picture of how to comply and connect is essential.
