SUMMARY:3rd Annual Pharma Supply-Chain & Security World 2021 “Supply-Chain\, Drug Serialization and Anti-Counterfeiting” Virtual Conference and Expo
DESCRIPTION:The Annual Pharma Supply Chain and Security World Summit is now online\, and this time with more focus on optimizing your supply chain challenges to ensure an agile\, responsive\, streamlined and secured supply chain in Global platform. Pharmaceutical companies have to resist the challenges looming from supply chain security lapses to avoid infiltration of counterfeit\, diverted\, and adulterated drugs entering into the supply chain. Apart from having an end to end visibility and traceability within the supply chain\, an effective serialization programs will be a key differentiator and will be a competitive advantage for the pharmaceutical companies. Drug counterfeiting which is not only a global public health risk\, but also harm the quality of the product\, the integrity of the brand\, the economy and even national security. Revenues from the pharma and bio-pharma counterfeit market is estimated to be more than $200 billion. Aligning your anti-counterfeiting strategy with the corporate supply chain strategy should plot a roadmap for implementing anti-counterfeiting measures. \nBoth industry and governments across the world recognising the importance of implementing product serialization\, it becomes obligatory for all entities within the supply chain to comply with federal or state legislations pertaining to the locations in which they operate \nInitiatives focusing on supply chain monitoring\, such as mass serialisation\, track and trace or hologram tagging\, had mixed outcomes\, as counterfeiters are agile and have found ways to bypass the steps quickly. Pharmaceutical companies and regulators are still developing techniques to stop them by creating intelligence led brand protection strategy. This also reveals numerous gaps in the governmental and industry efforts to safeguard global pharmaceutical and bio-tech supplies. \nCorvus Global Events invites you to Pharma Supply Chain & Security World 2021 – Supply-chain\, Drug Serialization And Anti-Counterfeiting virtual conference\, which will have Pharma industry experts sharing various challenges faced\, new strategies\, case studies and use of innovative ideas\, the conference will also offer opportunities to encourage partnerships and collaborations. In this conference you’ll not only discover innovative technologies\, transformation strategies and collaboration methods\, but how best to implement them to optimise your supply chain processes and strategies for drug anti-counterfeiting. \nIt gives us a great pleasure to welcoming you to the 3rd Annual Pharma Supply Chain & Security World 2021. \nKey Highlights \n• Streamlining your supply chain\n• End to End supply chain\n• Designing an optimal supply chain network\n• Developing a sustainable Serialization strategy\n• Integration of track & trace solutions in production and supply chain\n• Smart Packaging\, Labelling\, Artwork\, Warehouse & Logistics\n• Serialization Data and Analytics driven approach to increase supply chain agility\n• Adoption of Blockchain in pharma supply chain\n• Brand Protection & Securing supply chain integrity\n• Global enterprise level solutions for anti-counterfeiting\n• Tackling pharmaceutical crime – initiatives at multinational\, EU and national level\n• IP and regulatory enforcement\n• Synchrony of the Pharma Industry and professional bodies against counterfeiting\n• Understanding and meeting the needs of DSCSA\, EU FMD and other global regulations\n• Strategies for public awareness and patient protection\n• Best practices to protect your brand\n• The role of the Internet in aiding the counterfeiters – How to overcome the situation?\n• Effective Authentication Technologies\n• Best selection of tamper-evident features\n• Developing a RMP for your supply chain to protect your Brand\, Product and Patient Safety\n• The need to understand and adopt new technologies like IoT\, Analytics\, Blockchain\, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence\n• Case study: How companies are structuring their counterfeiting efforts and departments? \nWho should attend the conference? \nAttendees include GMs\, VPs\, Directors\, Heads and Managers of: \n• Pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors\n• Supply Chain management companies\n• Healthcare professionals\n• Pharmacists\n• Serialization\, Track and Trace solution providers\n• Brand protection\, enforcement\, security\, integrity and management companies\n• Healthcare research organizations\n• Pharmaceutical industry professional associations\n• Anti-counterfeiting organizations\n• Packaging & labelling companies\n• Authentication technology suppliers\n• Contract manufacturing organization (CMO)\n• IT service providers\n• Intellectual Property\, investigators and Trademark council\n• Drug regulatory agencies and customs

SUMMARY:Leading Digital Transformation in Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Digital transformation in health care is happening at an increasingly rapid pace. The current global health care crisis is only bolstering the need for technology to provide meaningful solutions. Digital health technologies can make it more convenient for a patient to make an appointment. They can make it easier for doctors to access the right information at the right time. They can make it more efficient for a health system to manage their population and deliver high-value\, high-quality care at a reasonable cost—or to continually improve care through knowledge generation in the model of a learning health system. \nWhile excitement and investment in these technologies is rapidly increasing\, the adoption and value proposition of technology for health care remains complex and multifaceted. Which innovations will provide more cost-effective\, patient-centered\, quality care? How do you differentiate value-producing technologies from hype? As a leader\, what are the critical steps in managing the change process? How do you leverage digital strategies throughout your organization to benefit all aspects of health care? Insights into these questions are critical not just for health systems\, but also business leaders developing industry solutions for health care. \nThis online Harvard Medical School Executive Education program provides you with the knowledge\, tools and strategies to design and implement technology-enabled change initiatives in health care. It will feature a combination of live virtual class sessions and self-paced learning and discussions. A certificate of completion will be provided.

SUMMARY:The ‘Invisible’ Future of Health Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:If the current pandemic has taught us anything\, it is the importance of monitoring not only our own health but the health of our loved ones. It has reiterated the importance of the life science industry to become more digitized and virtually connected as it moves forward. \nFortunately\, in the last decade\, many in the industry have gotten a head start becoming digitally connected through telehealth tools\, wearable devices and more. Providers have been able to remotely monitor their patients\, in settings outside of hospitals\, receiving health measures from patients back to their providers. Yet\, remote monitoring still faces challenges related to adoption\, efficacy\, and scale. During the current epidemic\, remote monitoring efforts have demonstrated its relevance to keep non-emergent patients out of hospitals and clinical care settings\, while still monitoring both them and their surroundings. \nThe question now is how will we as an industry continue to evolve further? Will it give providers a real opportunity to monitor patients? Will ‘invisible health’ monitoring be able to make a real impact on its own\, or will the future of connected health be a multi-facetted approach? \nJoin Johnson & Johnson Innovation -JLABS as they bring together experts in the field to discuss their views on the feasibility of invisible monitoring\, the importance of data control and collection\, possible impactful use cases\, the inevitable concerns that come along with it and the possibilities of health monitoring during the current COVID-19 crisis.

SUMMARY:Overcoming Vaccine Hesitancy In Black And Brown Communities
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on the health inequities that plague our nation and the lack of access to quality care for Black and Brown populations. But\, beyond health inequity remains a culture of mistrust between these marginalized populations and the scientific and healthcare communities that is negatively impacting uptake of the vaccine among Black and Brown populations. \nWith many states prioritizing Black and Brown populations for COVID-19 vaccines\, how can the life sciences and healthcare industry do a better job disseminating factual information throughout these marginalized communities so they can trust in science and feel confident taking the vaccine as soon as they are able? \nJoin our next Town Hall as we discuss how we can achieve these goals by elevating the voices of diverse leaders in science\, and better explaining the scientific evidence that demonstrates the safety and benefit of the vaccines for Black and Brown populations. \nNOTE: MassBio makes every effort to accommodate our entire community at each of our events. Please let us know at least 3 days in advance of the event if you require special accommodations\, such as captioning.
