Reshaping how products are identified, encoded, and exchanged, the changes to the National Drug Code (NDC) are creating Y2K-level urgency across healthcare and retail. This session breaks down what’s changing, including moving the NDC out of the Global Trade Item Number® (GTIN®) and introducing new GS1 Application Identifiers and barcode requirements. You’ll hear from stakeholders across the supply chain on how the NDC impacts everything from packaging lines to Electronic Health Records (EHR) and how GS1 identifiers can help maintain data integrity. Walk away with practical first steps to build a cross-functional readiness plan that reduces disruption and prevents costly exceptions.
