Do Systems Need to be Updated in Order to Handle New Quantities and What Best Practices Does USDM Believe Will Emerge?

Jean Sargent, Vice President of Healthcare Strategy and Implementation at USDM Life Sciences, has been speaking with numerous solutions providers in order to understand where they are in relation to capabilities to transact with the UDI data. From the perspective of the supply chain, most of the large supply chain solution providers already have the capabilities to handle the capabilities built into their systems. If this capability is not on a built in version, solution providers have determined a path that allows the utilization of this information using subfields. When there is an upgrade all of the information will be in the correct fields and this information can then be used for transactions.

USDM Life Sciences offers healthcare a comprehensive assessment, strategy and solutions to implement end to end traceability of pharmaceutical and medical devices from point of receipt through to the electronic health record.
