Supply Chain Challenges
Challenges in the Healthcare supply chain Medication errors result in additional treatments,disabilities and even loss of life Counterfeiting is an increasing global threat Traceability from manufacturer to patient isunworkable Product recalls are difficult to manage A lot of manual interventions in the healthcaresupply chain decrease its efficiency andaccuracy 2008 GS1
Ensuring the 5 Patient RightsThe right productThe right patientThe right timeThe right routeThe right dose 2008 GS1
How to reduce medication errors?Automatic identification solutions (bar codes and/or RFID)reduce the possibility of human errorAutomatically matchpatient data, product dataand treatment dataAutomatic identification up to and at the point of carereduces medication errors 2008 GS1

Global traceability Counterfeit drugs are an increasing global threat The WHO estimates 10% of all drugs worldwide tobe counterfeit – sales estimated at 32 billion in 2005 The introduction of a unique identification for drugs ormedical devices, where appropriate, will enableauthentication and traceability systems that willmake it much more difficult for counterfeiters to intrudeinto the Healthcare supply chain 2008 GS1

Improving Supply Chain Efficiency Administrative costs along supply chains in Healthcareconstitute roughly 30-40% of Healthcare costs - compared to3-6% in the grocery industry Inaccurate and inconsistent data in the Healthcare supplychain add billions of in costs More than 20% of stock-on-hand in most hospitals beyondtheir central storage is obsolete 2008 GS1
