Fulfiling a vision of digital transformation with GS1 standards
The Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System (FMOLHS) is a non-profit healthcare system serving more than half of Louisiana’s population.
Body
As a Catholic ministry, FMOLHS provides $39 million yearly in non-reimbursed care and community support for the underprivileged.
Challenged by the rising costs and growing complexity of delivering quality healthcare, FMOLHS needed to improve its operational efficiencies, control costs and remain focused on what mattered most—the safety and care of its patients.
To help drive the digital transformation of its critical processes, FMOLHS took the strategic step to implement GS1 standards. Working closely with its suppliers and GS1 Healthcare US® Initiative solution providers, the health system laid a firm standardsbased foundation that integrated with its softwarebased systems, to manage and control product inventory and location information.
