DID YOU KNOW THAT…?
February 10, 2010 - The GDSN Early Adoption Group Report Published

DataPros for Healthcare was instrumental in the collaborative effort to produce the Early Adoption Group (EAG) Report that summarizes the results of the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) pilot program testing the implementation of GS1 standards in U.S. healthcare. DataPros gained valuable insight during the process and can assist manufacturers, GPOs, distributors or providers in assessing and/or implementing GS1 standards by the industry-accepted sunrise dates of 12/31/10 (GLN) and 12/31/12 (GTIN).

A major outcome of the report was a six phase approach to adoption:
  1. Commit - executive sponsorship and organization wide awareness of benefits.
  2. Assess – GAP analysis of existing and future attributes and system capability.
  3. Select – Evaluate and subscribe to desired Data Pools.
  4. Implement – data preparation and connection, customer/supplier coordination, training, maintenance and synchronization.
  5. Transact – incorporate GS1 standards into business processes.
  6. Maintain – regularly update for changes, monitor effectiveness and ROI.
