SPARTANBURG, South Carolina—LSPedia, a traceability solution provider, and RedSail Technologies, a pharmacy software and services provider, announced their partnership aimed at giving dispensers a holistic solution for pharmacy management and Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance.
For those utilizing PioneerRx, this partnership unlocks a full platform integration coming soon with LSPedia’s OneScan Pharmacy Pro, enabling pharmacies to effortlessly comply with all present and looming provisions of the DSCSA. RedSail Technologies said this integration will stand out for its affordability, user-friendliness, rich feature compilation and unwavering compliance capability.
“This is more than a well-designed partnership—it's a proactive step we've taken to shield our customers’ businesses," said Jeff Key, chief commercial officer of RedSail Technologies and president of PioneerRx. "For that reason, we've selected LSPedia, who has proven to be an industry DSCSA leader in quality, performance and expertise. We have earned and continue to earn trust from pharmacies, and partnering with OneScan Pharmacy Pro upholds and improves on that standard.”
RedSail pharmacies using NRx or PrimeCare can also leverage OneScan Pharmacy Pro to meet their DSCSA solution needs, without direct software integration.
The DSCSA, instituted in 2013, aims to enforce full-fledged pharmaceutical product traceability and curtail the introduction of unauthorized products into the supply stream. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is unwavering in its stance: by Nov. 27, 2023, all trading partners, including dispensers, must have compliant systems operational. A “stabilization period” has been set for the subsequent year, allowing entities to refine workflows and bolster adherence to relevant standard operating procedures (SOPs). Non-compliance or procrastination can entail severe consequences, including audits, penalties, reputational hits and losses stemming from data anomalies.
OneScan Pharmacy Pro, provided by LSPedia, is at the vanguard of DSCSA solutions. Features range from data receipt in both ASN and EPCIS formats, trading partner license validation (with NABP integration), to DSCSA SOPs specifically crafted for pharmacy staff. RedSail said with its verification router service, investigator technology and more, it will harmoniously integrate with the PioneerRx platform. Moreover, built-in inventory management attributes present a value proposition that transcends mere compliance.
RedSail pharmacies that enroll with OneScan Pharmacy Pro before Dec. 31, 2023, will get Pharmacy Pro free until June 1, 2024.
“As individuals prioritize personal health, it's paramount for the industry to adapt and embrace cutting-edge technology that fortifies the pharmaceutical supply chain," said Riya Cao, CEO of LSPedia. "With OneScan Pharmacy Pro's coming integration with PioneerRx, pharmacies are equipped with a tried-and-tested, robust mechanism to navigate DSCSA compliance. This paves the way for transparency, fortifying the pharmaceutical supply chain, which in the larger picture, uplifts the health and vitality of our communities and loved ones."
