Product Data and Synchronization in Healthcare Webinar Series

AHRMM, the Coalition for Healthcare eStandards (CHeS), and the Healthcare Supply Chain Standards Coalition (HSCSC) have co-sponsored a five-part webinar series on product data and synchronization in healthcare. Each session focuses its attention on GS1 standards and the GDSN® for the healthcare industry.

Recordings for all webinars are free of charge. AHRMM members will receive 1 Contact Hour towards CMRP recertification or 0.1 CEUs for participating in each session.

Session I: Defining a Healthcare Product Data Utility (PDU)

Presenters:

This session provides an overview of the problems caused by lack of synchronization and highlights the ongoing efforts to launch a PDU in healthcare. The U.S. Department of Defense has released initial results of an ongoing data synchronization pilot, where an existing product data network known as the Global Data Synchronization Network® (GDSN) is being tested. This session focuses on the initial pilot results which show that GDSN demonstrates the potential to meet the healthcare industry’s complex data synchronization needs.

Session II: What is the Global Data Synchronization Network for Healthcare?

Presenter:  Peter J. Alvarez, Senior Director, GDSN Healthcare, GS1 GDSN, Inc.

GS1 GDSN is an automated, standards-based global environment that enables secure and continuous data synchronization, allowing all trading partners to have consistent item data in their systems at the same time. This session discusses how GS1 GDSN connects customers and suppliers and why over 14 countries world-wide, including the United States, are considering using it as the global solution to data synchronization in healthcare.

Session III: Retail Success Story – A Case of GDSN Leadership for the Healthcare Industry

Presenters:    

Wegmans, one of the nation’s top grocery chains, is a major partner in the grocery industry supply chain that is synchronizing purchasing data using GS1 GDSN – the same the global solution the healthcare industry is considering for standardized secure and continuous data synchronization. This session highlights the successes, challenges and lessons learned by the grocery industry as it adopted GS1 standards and began to synchronize data in the GDSN. A history of Wegmans involvement in supply chain standards and current data synchronization efforts is also presented.
