GS1
GS1 is a neutral, not-for-profit, member-owned, standards development organisation. We help healthcare and other sectors to make their processes and solutions safer through the globally unique identification of every product, every place, and every person. We are best known for providing a system of unique numbers (GS1 standards), data carriers (e.g. barcodes and radio frequency identification tags) and information sharing standards, relevant to products, relationships, assets, locations, services and processes. By barcoding and tracking products, assets, people, locations and more, information can be captured quickly at the point of care or use – and all with a simple scan. With this information, we can be sure who did what to whom, when, where, with what and why, to improve transparency throughout the supply chain and patient care pathway. This delivers enhanced patient safety, reduces clinical variation and improves operational efficiency. GS1 is actively collaborating with authorities, hospitals, suppliers and other key stakeholders to embed the standards in their systems and processes to help drive global traceability from manufacturer to the patient bedside.
