The Healthcare Committee was formed to specifically helpstakeholders in the Healthcare Sector to leverage the benefits of GS1 Standards.  The Committee has a number of working groups which are addressing a wide range of critical issues facing the sector such as anti counterfeit and medical device traceability, and to facilitate the growth and spread of eCommerce practices. The GS1 System offers many opportunities to improve patient safety, operational efficieny and value for money in Healthcare service.


The Hardware/DIY Committee has been working to oversee the industry-wide agreement, adoption and rollout of a standard Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) message.  Thr group comprised of suppliers and retailers from the sector, has recently completed the successful implementation of a standard EDI invoice message.  The group is working on the roll out of more messages in the coming months.
