ABSTRACT

In the first three chapters, we focused on Title I: Compounding Quality Act of the Drug Quality and Security Act. In this chapter, we review Title II: Drug Supply Chain Security Act (sometimes called the track and trace part of the law). Efforts are underway to plan the necessary steps to build an electronic system to identify and trace prescription drugs as they are distributed in the United States. As I was writing this book, the targeted completion for this system was November 27, 2024, or 10 years from the signing of the H.R. 3204 bill into law and the enactment of the Drug Quality and Security Act.
