WEBINAR: DSCSA—13 Year Implementation and 2024 Update

Terry Bondurant2024-09-10T10:07:47-05:00September 10th, 2024|Categories: Pharmacy Law, Regulatory Issues, Webinar|Tags: pharmacist, Pharmacy Technician, webinar|

Date and Time of Activity
Tuesday, October 1, 2024
11 am EDT/ 10 am CDT/ 9 am MDT/ 8 am PDT

Pharmacy professionals play a crucial role in protecting patient from drugs that may be counterfeit, stolen, contaminated, or otherwise harmful.

Enacted in 2013, DSCSA is taking over 13 years to implement. Pharmacies need to prepare for the DSCSA requirements with a November 27, 2026 FDA enforcement implementation to receive or exchange transaction information electronically and conduct package level verification. The implementation of systems to produce serialized transaction information in a readily retrievable manner and develop SOPs for regulatory or trading partner transaction data requests will take time, and pharmacies should start today, if they have not already, to ensure compliance with the new enforcement implementation date. That said, despite the DSCSCA granting an exemption for small dispensers until November 27, 2026, pharmacies should be aware of their obligations to make appropriate purchases and maintain inventory purchase information in accordance with their Pharmacy Benefit Manager (“PBM”) Provider Manuals and Agreements. PBMs continue to audit pharmacies to ensure their sourcing of inventory is valid and despite any exemption granted by the DSCSA, such audit measures are expected to continue.

Activity Description:

In this webinar, we will review the phased in implementation and provide update of 2024 and beyond.

At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

Identify the DSCSA requirements for receiving, validating, and storing DSCSA Transaction Information (TI) and Transaction Statements (TS).
Describe the procedures for implementing electronic operability at the package level for traceability.
Identify the regulatory requirements and documentation needed for compliance with audit records, inspections, and other inquiries.
Explain the processes for verifying product legitimacy, including methods for quarantining, investigating, and reporting suspect products.

Included Webinars:

Vitamins Fact or Fiction: Functionally Using Nutrients to Impact Positive Patient Outcomes, Jeff Robins, RPh, FACA
Many of our patients eat the standard American diet (SAD). Along with poor daily diet, most of our patients are taking medications that cause drug-induced nutritional deficiencies. Our patients are at risk for further health degradation due to their nutritional status. Jeff will help you understand how to pick nutritional products that are efficacious in your patients. You will learn how to meet your patient’s nutritional needs generally, and for specific common ailments and disease states. Not only does this type of practice offer a sustainable profit model, but your practice will also set itself apart from the competition by giving in-depth nutritional care to your patients.

The Role of Dysbiosis in Women’s Health, Suzanne Keyes, PharmD, FACA, IFMCP
An estimated 28 million women have known energy and metabolism problems due to hypothyroidism. 1.3 million women enter menopause annually. Approximately 2/3rds of the population is currently dealing with symptoms of adrenal exhaustion.

Attend this session on Women’s Health and you will:

leave with the ability to distinguish the overlapping symptoms of these 3 conditions
be familiar with the biological pathways and drug-induced nutrient depletions occurring from common prescriptions
be comfortable recommending nutritional supplements to support the pathways, foods to avoid, and food plans to recommend as well as multiple lifestyle modifications that support the triad of conditions

Implementing Personalized Nutrition into Pharmacy Practice, Lara Zakaria, PharmD, MS, CNS, IFMCP

Nutrition intervention is considered first line in the treatment of most chronic diseases. However, most pharmacists don’t have extensive training in nutrition or don’t feel confident making nutritional recommendations in the practice. In this workshop-style session, we will learn simple, turn-key assessment solutions that will turn any pharmacist into a community expert allowing you to integrate foundational nutrition support for your patients.
