Industry Initiatives

The Canadian healthcare and pharmacy sectors are currently engaged in national initiatives that leverage the value of GS1 standards to improve patient safety, enable supply chain efficiency and drive a sustainable system. GS1 Canada is supporting representatives of the healthcare and pharmacy communities - including providers, suppliers, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), solution providers, associations and government - to achieve these objectives

Through implementation of GS1 standards, these communities are modernizing, unifying and enhancing healthcare and pharmacy supply chain operations, leading to improvements in processes such as logistics and inventory management, and ultimately, safer medication practices and patient care across Canada.
