Adoption and implementation of GS1 GDSN

Data synchronisation brings consistency to product information to everyone in the Healthcare supply chain. This will reduce errors and increase efficiency. Inconsistent, inaccurate and outdated product information make it for example nearly impossible for hospitals to conduct effective supply chain analyses.

The GS1 Global Data Synchronisation Network enables the availability of accurate and consistent data, accessible in a secure way for all trading partners across the Healthcare sector. This global platform allows suppliers to efficiently and effectively share product data with their trading partners.

• US Department of Defense: in a groundbreaking pilot, the US Department of Defense (DoD) and industry participants tested the GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN), and found that GDSN demonstrates the potential to meet healthcare’s complex data synchronisation needs. https://dmmonline.dscp.dla.mil/datasynchronization/dodpilots.asp
