KEYNOTE: Healthcare – Prospering in a Post-reform World
One of the most important pieces of health legislation since Medicare is now the law of the land. This presentation will discuss the impact to the value chain stakeholders and suggestions for their blueprint to derive long-term value. Healthcare value chain executives (providers, payers, retailers, distributors, and life sciences) will have to work quickly to position their organizations for the post-reform world to respond to the challenge of new taxes, new regulations, and new administrative deadlines.

1:45-2:15 Pharma Industry Report: 2015 Readiness for Track and Trace
GS1 Healthcare US’s Secure Supply Chain Task Force has developed a pharmaceutical supply chain model as part of a program known as 2015 Readiness. The model is intended to prepare members of the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain to use a standard serialized track-and-trace system (known as an electronic pedigree) related to the movements of items. Since January 2010, 50 companies have utilized a simulated supply chain to map out a supply chain and send items with unique ID numbers, either on RFID tags or on 2-D bar codes. The program aims to develop a model for anyone in the pharmaceutical industry who is responsible for IT, logistics or packaging, as well as manufacturers, retail pharmacies and wholesalers.
