Scanning the horizon: the evolution of Scan4Safety in the NHS
Six acute NHS demonstrator sites were funded through the GS1 and PEPPOL implementation programme that launched in 2016.
Body
Two years, four phases and six trusts on: the Scan4Safety programme has demonstrated the benefits of adopting standards in the National Health Service (NHS) in England.
Through Scan4Safety, which has been called a world first, the Department of Health (now the Department of Health and Social Care or DHSC) funded the implementation of GS1 and PEPPOL standards in six acute NHS trusts (hospitals). As the demonstration phase draws to a close, it is timely in 2018 to reflect on the challenges and achievements of these six organisations.
