Ramsay Health Care getting the benefits of using GS1 standards
Ramsay Health Care (Ramsay) wanted to improve the efficiency of its supply chain processes while leveraging Australian national eProcurement recommendations.
To address this need, the health system has deployed a full suite of GS1 standards for identifying, capturing and sharing information to support interactions with its suppliers, including GS1 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards.
As a result, Ramsay has increased both the speed and efficiency of its purchasing processes, strengthened the efficient operation of its hospitals and helped ensure the continuous delivery of quality healthcare. In addition, procure-to-pay processing costs have decreased by approximately 95 percent per transactional document.
