Every day millions of patients across the world are treated by healthcare professionals – who use their best knowledge, together with a great deal of care and empathy – nevertheless sometimes mistakes happen as “to err is human”. GS1 standards and barcodes are tools that can help clinical healthcare professionals, as well as the wide ranging network of support staff that comprise every healthcare provider environment, to have extra visibility and surety in the work that they do.
Manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers, distributors, logistics providers, solution providers, industry associations, (inter-) governmental bodies and regulators all recognise this and are working, together with healthcare professionals, to drive change in the healthcare supply chain and clinical environment.
Join these stakeholders - from across the healthcare continuum and across the world - and attend our conference to:
• Listen to world leaders showcase GS1 standards implementations from their organisations
• Discuss latest regulatory and trading partner requirements
• Enjoy a unique neutral environment to network and learn from your peers
• Become part of a united community working to ensure GS1 standards can make a difference for every one of us, as ultimately we are all patients.
The programme includes plenary sessions about “Hospitals, doctors and clinicians” where you will have the opportunity to hear the experiences of experts from across the globe about GS1 standards in hospitals; “Pharmaceutical traceability from manufacturer to patient” discussing how to improve patient safety through visibility in many business processes; and “Unique Device Identification” which will provide an overview of the status about UDI across the world and on other initiatives regarding track & trace for medical devices.
