Healthcare Distribution Alliance

Yeah, I had three interviews this week about the National Drug Code, NDC-12, which is a new thing that the FDA is putting into effect in 2033.

Last week was the Healthcare Distribution Alliance Traceability Seminar in D.C. And from there, the conversation was really about NDC-12.

It's a huge changeover that companies are going to have to make from 10-digit, which is the existing drug code, on packages to 12 and it sounds simple, but of course there's implications when we talk about what that looks like.

It's your printing and vision systems, your barcodes, your software inventory management, and this is far reaching.
