Health Efficiency
The Department of Health recommends that the healthcare industry use GS1 standards in their ‘Coding for Success’ policy document
How do GS1 standards improve healthcare efficiency?
Solutions, based on our standards, help speed up and improve the way you trade with your suppliers. Our solutions make healthcare more efficient by:
- controlling the cost of production and procurement
- making it easier to produce itemised billing

GS1 standards also:
- help you track products and materials reliably

- eliminate the number of duplicate inputs
- save time in preparing, shipping and receiving products
- make it easier to trace products so you can improve patient safety
