Read the full article:  SAP blockchain service helps fight counterfeit drugs - TechTarget

"SAP is working to combat counterfeit drugs. The company has released a blockchain offering that is aimed at authenticating drugs in the supply chain. 
The SAP blockchain application for the pharmaceutical industry is designed to ensure that any drugs returned to a wholesaler from hospitals and pharmacies are validated before they are resold, according to SAP. The blockchain was developed in the SAP Information Collaboration Hub for Life Sciences, a public cloud network involving several large pharmaceutical wholesalers and manufacturers, which SAP launched in November 2017."

It's getting competitive.  Looks like a lot of companies are trying to offer a DSCSA blockchain solution.

"In the late 1990s, the Board established requirements for community and hospital pharmacies to complete self-assessment forms. Since then, assessment forms also have been developed for wholesalers and sterile compounding pharmacies. 
The forms provide a compilation of pharmacy law that can be used to assess pharmacy operations for compliance with laws and regulations. This self-evaluation can highlight areas needing improvement and enable corrective actions.
