Welcome to Carenet
Carenet is GS1 Canada's healthcare sector strategy to standardize
the healthcare supply chain.
In 2008, Carenet amalgamated with GS1 Canada, Canada's leading
authority on supply chain and e-commerce global standards. The two
organizations have partnered to enhance patient safety and drive
increased adoption of standardized supply chain and e-commerce
practices across the Canadian healthcare sector.
Through its amalgamation with GS1 Canada, Carenet represents over
450 Canadian healthcare providers and 95 leading suppliers as well
as major Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) and technology
solution providers. As such, through the implementation of standards
in the healthcare supply chain, Carenet's mandate includes:
- supporting the adoption of a common system of global supply
chain standards in healthcare institutions;
- ensuring patient safety
- improving cost efficiencies and staff productivity,
- and ultimately ensuring Canada's healthcare trading partners are able to
fully operate in an increasingly
e-driven global supply chain.
