GAM launches E_GEN, a platform for exchanging product and supply information
Today’s French health institutions are challenged by new regulations that require new capabilities to track and trace all healthcare products.
More than ever, doctors and pharmacists need reliable and complete trade item data for increased knowledge about the products they use on patients.
In 2016, Groupement d’Achat Mutualiste (GAM), a French group purchasing organisation (GPO), launched the deployment of the E_GEN platform to automate the exchange of inventory data between its members and their suppliers. Connected to the Global Data Synchronisation Network® (GDSN®), the platform receives up-to-date product and order tracking information (order status, shipping advice and more) to ensure better data quality and greater patient safety.
