Nicola Hall, managing director at Ingenica Solutions, the company behind the first GS1 certified inventory management solution in the UK healthcare market, explains why GS1 is the foundation for real change in the NHS and beyond.
The NHS is at the threshold of what could be transformational progress; GS1 adoption will save the sector millions of pounds, and have a significant impact on patient safety.
GS1 data standards are mandatory in the NHS which means all trusts in the country, and all suppliers to the NHS must meet the standards. the standards provide globally unique identification of products, patients, caregivers, locations, and assets through the use of identifiers such as barcodes. the main focus is that this is essential in order to improve data and management information to secure efficiencies, both financial and management. The longterm impact is huge, it is a catalyst for significant change.
