In August 2017, IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) sponsored a groundbreaking, independent research study focused on the State of Blockchain Adoption on the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain. This study will offer detailed insights on unresolved issues, expectations and commitment towards adoption of blockchain for the pharmaceutical supply chain. The research is being conducted by an independent, industry-recognized, third-party research firm which will survey an adequate sample of key partners on the chain including pharma manufacturers, wholesalers, pharmacy benefit managers, and dispensaries.
