Wegmans is using GS1’s Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN), the same network the global health care industry is considering. This session will share highlight the successes, challenges and lessons learned by the grocery industry as it adopted GS1 standards and began to synchronize data in the GDSN.

What is the Global Data Synchronization Network for Health Care?
Original webcast: March 27, 2008

GS1 GDSN is an automated, standards-based global environment that enables secure and continuous data synchronization, allowing all trading partners to have consistent item data in their systems at the same time. Participants will learn how the system connects customers and suppliers, and why more than 14 countries (including the U.S.) are considering GDSN as the global solution to data synchronization in health care.

Defining a Health Care Product Data Utility (PDU)
Original webcast: March 20, 2008

This session provides an overview of the problems caused by lack of synchronization, and highlights ongoing efforts to launch a Product Data Utility in health care. The U.S. Department of Defense has released initial results of an ongoing data synchronization pilot, where an existing product data network known as the Global Data Synchronization Network® (GDSN®) is being tested. This session will focus on the initial pilot results which show that GDSN demonstrates the potential to meet health care’s complex data synchronization needs.
