Healthcare sector

GS1 Denmark works to enhance patient safety in Denmark by advising all stakeholders in the healthcare sector on the value of implementing GS1 standards. These standards enable traceability and safety from manufacturer to patient.

Learn more about how GS1 standards support pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical device manufacturers, and healthcare professionals employed by the state, regions, or municipalities.

Medical Device Manufacturers

Danish manufacturers of medical devices are increasingly required to comply with various national regulatory requirements regarding labelling and the exchange of master data.

We help you understand GS1 standards and advise you on how to use your GS1 Denmark membership to create a UDI and Basic UDI-DI for your products.

In addition, we can assist you in preparing and submitting product data to regulatory databases, such as EUDAMED.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturers

The use of barcodes on medicinal products offers many benefits and is, in many cases, a legal requirement. In addition to streamlining the supply chain, barcodes on medicines also enhance patient safety.

If you are a pharmaceutical manufacturer, we advise you on how to use GS1 standards to encode the data required by authorities in the barcode.

Healthcare professionals

Scanning and using the data encoded in the barcode improves inventory management, reduces adverse events, and minimizes manual work when registering product information.

‍

Manual processes in the dispensing and administration of medication increase the risk of errors, including mix-ups, which barcodes automatically help prevent.
