GHSC-PSM has developed guidance documents for national and global stakeholders to support global standards implementations in national supply chains.
The below process lays out guidance for country programs to systematically organize the work of operationalizing and executing a vision and strategy for pharmaceutical traceability. It serves to orient teams in developing a vision, strategy, and implementation roadmap specific to the country environment – one that considers the key operational components required for successful implementation.
The following are tools comprising the GHSC-PSM Traceability Planning Framework Toolkit*, which cover the 'why,' 'what,' and 'how' to support country programs in implementing global standards. The below toolkit table is fully interactive and any underlined tools can be accessed by clicking on its title:
The "WHY" | The "WHAT" | The "HOW" | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Education & Awareness | Vision & Strategy | Policy & Architecture | Implementation | |||||
