As a supplier, you decide with whom you share data. At the click of a button, you can provide all your customers worldwide with product data.
How to proceed?
Make someone responsible
Make someone responsible for sharing product data through the Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN).
Gather data
In healthcare, we work with the ECHO datamodel. The datamodel shows which data (fields) are requested, which data you must enter in which field, and which fields are mandatory. Investigate in which departments, systems, or documents the requested data is available. Most likely, it is spread throughout the organisation (and does it sound easier than it is).
Decide which solution you will use
Decide how you want to submit your product data via GDSN. Data can be entered via your own application, a solution from a solution partner or via a GDSN Certified data pool.
You can use GS1 Data Source as your GDSN certified datapool to share product data. To familiarise yourself with GS1 Data Source, you can follow the instruction video below (Betreft de video die nu onder stap 4 staat). You can also log in directly to the GS1 Data Source web interface. You will receive your login details by e-mail after registration via MyGS1.
Entering and sharing data with healthcare providers
Start listing the data you have available and publish it to your customers. Also publish the data to GLN: GS1 Netherlands Healthcare 8712345013257. Use the ECHO data model to see what product data is exchanged in healthcare. To make it easier to enter data in GS1 Data Source, templates based on Excel are used.
Ensure the quality of your product data
The GS1 Data Care Program offers ongoing support in managing and improving your product data in GDSN.
