Webinar Description & Learning Objectives
How the Drug Supply Chain Security Act Works,
and How You Can Use It to Protect Patients
The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) is a law that requires the electronic tracking of certain prescription drugs throughout the supply chain. The law’s goal is to protect patients from harmful drugs by preventing them from entering the supply chain, detecting them if they do, and quickly removing them.
This presentation will describe a black-market HIV medicine that was stopped by an alert pharmacist using the DSCSA. Shabbir Safdar will teach attendees how the system works, what pharmacies legal obligations are to investigate suspect medicine, and provide some examples of actual false documents from currently active cases to help pharmacists know what to look for in suspicious behavior.
What You Will Learn:
- DEFINE the process to confirm a vendor has a wholesale pharmaceutical license.
- IDENTIFY and EXPLAIN the four elements on the DSCSA portion of the label.
- EXPLAIN how the technology of the DSCSA works.
- IDENTIFY the warning signs of a vendor selling illegitimate product.
This presentation is a must-see for investigators, pharmacists, healthcare and industry professionals who want to learn how the DSCSA protects dispensers and patients.
