DSCSA: Be prepared. Get connected.
Morris & Dickson maintains a robust Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance program designed to support all sites of care in meeting key requirements. We actively monitor and address data exchange performance across all trade partners to ensure consistent, reliable interoperability. Our team is also working closely with small dispenser customers to help them achieve compliance ahead of the November 27, 2026 deadline. See below for additional guidance and resources.

Taking DSCSA Action
Morris & Dickson has implemented OneScan™ from LSPedia® as part of a fully integrated DSCSA solution, enabling end-to-end serialization and EPCIS data exchange across our distribution operations. These capabilities are active across receiving, returns, and exception handling workflows, ensuring accuracy, visibility, and uninterrupted supply chain performance.
Pharmacy customers can access the DSCSA Reference Guide for key steps to support ongoing compliance with M&D.
Trade partners should refer to the Trade Partner Compliance Policy and weekly M&D Supplier Scorecards for current compliance status, or contact their Morris & Dickson representative for support.
