Enabling traceability at Dijon University Hospital through identification of all rooms and locations

University Hospital CHU Dijon, the largest public hospital in the Bourgogne region of France, has taken steps to ensure greater supply chain security and efficiency by implementing a process that enables the internal traceability of medical products, from the warehouse to individual care units within the hospital.

The ability to electronically track and trace a product has the potential to not only save time and costs, but also to improve patient safety and the quality of care. The hospital established a warehouse logistics platform using GS1 standards as the basis of its traceability process, and is seeing significant improvements in efficiency, traceability and, ultimately, patient safety.
