Digital Recalls Notification

Get the precise location and quantity of recalled product received at any site to accelerate product retrieval and reimbursement.

Accelerate Retrieval and Reimbursement of Recalled Product with DSCSA EPCIS Data

Product Information Manager - Digital Recalls Notification (PIM-DRN) enables pharmacy teams to surface the location and quantity of recalled product received at each site to accelerate retrieval and reimbursement. PIM-DRN digitalizes and distributes recall alert data so it can be matched against the product and lot information captured for DSCSA compliance, providing pharmacy teams with a recall impact report that helps direct efficient product sweeps. PIM-DRN enables companies to:

• Minimize recall noise and alert fatigue with digitalization and distribution services
• Pinpoint which locations are impacted by checking recall data against EPCIS data
• Enrich pharmacy systems with real-time recall data via a programmatic API

Time-Consuming, Labor-Intensive Processes Hinder Recall Execution

Today, product recalls are executed through a series of time-consuming, labor-intensive processes, ranging from sorting incoming alerts to collecting impacted product. Any delay in this process poses patient safety, regulatory compliance, and inventory risks. Common challenges include:

Duplicate notices create recall noise

Organizations receive dozens of recall alerts for each incident, including duplicate notifications for recalls they’re already acting on. Nonetheless, all alerts must be reviewed to confirm if they’re new or contain updated information.

Sluggish recall response due to manual processes

After receiving recall notices, pharmacy teams need to manually compare recall data from PDFs, emails, letters, and other sources to purchase histories to begin the recall process. This delays the process of retrieving the product from inventory.

Poor visibility into the location and quantity of recalled product

Pharmacy teams often can’t tell whether they’re impacted by a recall event without manually reviewing purchase histories or blindly searching their inventory first. This wastes pharmacy resources that could have been devoted to other critical duties.
