RxTrace, One Year Retrospective
RxTrace is now one year old. There are 34 essays that together amount to a true liberal exploration of the intersection between the pharmaceutical supply chain, track and trace technology, standards and regulatory compliance…as promised.
My personal favorite essays from the past year, in chronological sequence are:
- The Florida Pedigree Law (August 10, 2009)
- The California Pedigree Law (September 7, 2009)
- What Are Pedigree Laws Trying To Accomplish Anyway? (November 2, 2009)
- Who owns supply chain visibility data? (December 31, 2009)
- The Deputized Supply Chain (January 31, 2010)
- FDA Aligns with GS1 SGTIN For SNDC (March 29, 2010)
- RFID is DEAD…at Unit-Level in Pharma (April 12, 2010)
- The Modern Pharmaceutical Wholesaler and the Approaching Transformation (May 7, 2010)
- California Pedigree Law: Historic Change to Commerce (June 14, 2010)
Since late January I have been collecting some statistics on page views on RxTrace and here is the list of the essays in the sequence of page views since that time. Read the rest of this entry »
