Safer, more efficient care starts with a simple scan

GS1’s project IMAGINE to support our Member Organisations to even more effectively engage healthcare providers and raise awareness of GS1 standards and their benefits, was successfully launched at Geneva University Hospital, Switzerland on 30 June. This was attended by more than 30 Member Organisation representatives from 21 countries.
This project and its outcomes are particularly important when all healthcare providers are being challenged to provide safe & efficient patient care and at the same time improve processes to control costs.
Useful materials for engaging Healthcare Providers have been produced include a frequently asked questions to help healthcare providers get started, a flyer that contains information about the value of GS1 for healthcare providers and a hospital implementation guideline detailing 10 high-level steps to implement GS1 standards.
