Description:
Using Blockchain for Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA)
Purpose/Benefit:
How Blockchain can be used to address the FDA's DSCSA regulatory requirements
Scope:
What is the DSCSA?
DSCSA stands for Drug Supply Chain Security Act. It is a regulation passed by FDA aimed at eliminating counterfeit drugs from entering the supply chain and enable real-time tracking, tracing and verification of drugs. The regulation is being rolled out in phases with complete rollout scheduled to happen in 2023.
Why is the DSCSA important?
The DSCSA is important as it aims to eliminate counterfeit drugs from entering the supply chain.
What is the impact of the DSCSA?
DSCSA compliance is mandatory for any company that is part of pharma supply chain in US
What are the various options to address the DSCSA?
There are many ways to address DSCSA and it is not necessary to use a blockchain. A blockchain based solution is appealing however as it enables creation of a central repository without the control being in hands of any single company.
How can Blockchain be used to address DSCSA regulation?
As a drug moves in the supply chain, its transfer from one company to another will be recorded onto the blockchain. This will enable tracking and tracing of a drug as well as verification of its legal owner and complete provenance.
How can Blockchain be used beyond the DSCSA requirements?
and more..
