The growing availability of counterfeit, stolen and out-of-date pharmaceutical products puts patient safety and brand reputation at risk. To counteract this, regulatory and legislative bodies place increasing emphasis on product traceability and electronic drug pedigree documentation. All companies operating within the pharmaceutical supply chain must now collaborate to protect both their profit margins and the welfare of their patients.
BT Safety Chain - improving patient safety
BT Safety Chain is an independent, integrated solution that can tag, track, trace and authenticate medicines throughout your supply chain. This can help you improve patient safety and supply chain integrity.
Using unique serial numbers, secure databases and tracking technology, manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers can accurately trace and monitor pharmaceutical products. These additional levels of control can help you recall products more efficiently and meet your regulatory requirements. By scanning products at every point throughout the lifecycle, you can identify and eliminate potentially unsafe medicines from the marketplace.
Pharmacists and nurses can also use BT Safety Chain to improve quality assurance while dispensing drugs, helping reassure patients and carers that their prescriptions are safe and genuine.
Using auto-identification technologies to track and trace your products enables pharmacists and doctors to administer genuine medicines to their patients. BT Safety Chain encourages data sharing throughout the pharmaceutical supply chain, enabling all companies involved to verify the authenticity of drugs to safeguard the patient and their brand reputation.
BT is currently expanding a global mass serialisation solution in another industry sector. One of the largest radio frequency identification (RFID) projects in the world, it will involve managing as many RFID tags and barcodes as the total number of prescriptions in Europe.
