Description: When the CA Board of Pharmacy delayed their compliance deadline for the Pharmaceutical ePedigree Law until January 1, 2015, much of the industry put an abrupt stop to their intense drug tracking implementation efforts. This delay, however, does not indicate that there has been a slow-down in counterfeiting, diversion or illegal importation and has now prompted several states to step-up their efforts in anticounterfeiting and drug tracking. Additionally, activity on the federal level is highly anticipated by all stakeholders, with some developments already underway and larger initiatives expected in 2010.
Beyond this, industry is collectively looking for ways to go beyond the supply chain, beyond compliance and drive business value out of anticounterfeiting and ePedigree programs. Brand and product teams have realized the value that ePedigree systems and applications can play in commercial strategies, but the commercial and business applications that can be derived from these systems are in their infancy and require thought leadership to successfully move forward.
At CBI's 3rd Annual Bio/Pharmaceutical Anticounterfeiting and ePedigree Summit, delegates get a holistic view of the anticounterfeiting and ePedigree landscape to achieve compliance and drive business value through commercial applications of ePedigree systems.
