Document type: .PDF whitepaper

Abstract:

More than 23,000 people are dying each year from prescription drug abuse alone in the US, which is more than those who perish in traffic accidents. This is a statistic important enough to beg the questions: what programs are currently being undertaken by the pharma industry and our government to reduce the growing incidence of prescription drug diversion and abuse, and what technology exists today that can be implemented to provide a more powerful tool? Serialization can be effective in tracking and tracing the distribution pathway of opioids to ensure they are getting into the hands of those who legitimately need them, and are used in the manner prescribed by physicians.
