Pharmaceutical Tracing for Manufacturers
We work with manufacturers to ensure the accurate exchange of drug transaction data to avoid service interruption.
Cardinal Health has adopted a standard systematic approach for accepting transaction data – information, history, statement – from manufacturers.
To ensure accuracy and efficiency, Cardinal Health expects manufacturers to send transaction data in electronic format. We believe that the Advance Ship Notices (ASNs), which are electronic documents transmitted via EDI, provide the most direct path to electronic transmission of the required data.
Manufacturers can learn more about their responsibilities and working with Cardinal Health by joining the Cardinal Health DSCSA Forum the first Monday of every month at 1:00 p.m. eastern. Dial-in, 855.241.2663; Conference ID, 3863795.
