What data will be monitored?

Via the Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN), suppliers share medical device product data with healthcare providers. Information on product identification for procurement, logistics and traceability, waste disposal, instructions for use and cleaning processes.

What data for the data optimisation programme?

Not all data shared via GDSN can be optimised at once. This is why the GS1 Data Care programme starts by checking Class III medical devices. Such as: GMDN, CE information, Reusability, Implantable, Risk class and Reference number (supplier number). Review the Validation Rules document at the bottom of the page to see what controls are included in the dashboard and how they affect your score.

This will be extended. On which products and attributes there will be further data optimisation is going to be determined by a Governance Group (consisting of suppliers and healthcare institutions) that is yet to be formed. Would you like to think along or provide input? Mail to: Healthcare@gs1.nl

Publishing data

For GS1 Data Care, the GLN GS1 Netherlands Healthcare (8712345013257) is used. Suppliers are requested to publish their product data to this GLN. This means that you must publish to the GLN of the healthcare institutions and the GLN GS1 Netherlands Healthcare temporarily. Over time, only one GLN will need to be published, reaching all customers.

Sign up 

Suppliers sign up for the data optimalisation program through MyGS1. Please indicate the right sector in the ordering process. Healthcare organisations can apply through the GS1 Data Care form via our website.
