1WorldSync: Leveraging the GDSN to improve the healthcare supply chain
Complete and accurate master product data are essential for healthcare providers to deliver the best possible care to their patients.
Ideally, product master data should flow freely and efficiently from manufacturers to healthcare providers.
The Global Data Synchronisation Network™ (GDSN®) with its one-to-many model makes it possible for hospitals to efficiently receive product data. In an effort to improve the healthcare supply chain data exchange, 1WorldSync has developed a unique solution—the 1WorldSync Playlist—to leverage the GDSN to improve efficiencies and enable scalability. To ensure proof of concept, a pilot program was undertaken with a major healthcare provider and medical product manufacturers.
