McKesson Canada Central Fill Capture

Currently, Pharmaceutical content is done via McKesson Canada Central Fill Capure.

In 2021, through a unique, collaborative, partnership between the pharmacy community and GS1 Canada, Project Enhanced Data Integrity for Patient Safety is enabling an expedited approach to securing critical pieces of your pharmaceutical data that will be captured on-site at McKesson Canada by GS1 Canada's content capture team.

There are two options available:

1. Option 1 (Preferred): Send your product to McKesson. If you select this option, shipping instructions will be sent to you.
2. Option 2- Use product from McKesson inventory
   
   Your product will be taken out of McKesson's inventory for image and data capture. McKesson Canada will invoice you for the cost of the product used in the capture process.
