GDSN for healthcare is a standardized network facilitating the exchange of accurate product information among stakeholders in the healthcare supply chain. It enhances efficiency and transparency by ensuring consistent data sharing for procurement, inventory management, and regulatory compliance.
GDSN (Global Data Synchronization Network) is a global system that facilitates accurate and consistent electronic exchange of product information.
The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) in healthcare is a standardized system designed to ensure accurate and timely exchange of product information among trading partners in the healthcare supply chain. It provides a common language and framework for sharing data such as product descriptions, attributes, and classifications, helping to streamline processes like procurement, inventory management, and regulatory compliance. GDSN facilitates interoperability between different stakeholders, including manufacturers, distributors, healthcare providers, and regulatory authorities, ultimately improving efficiency, transparency, and patient safety throughout the healthcare ecosystem.

The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) is a standards-based, interoperable network built around the GS1 Global Registry®, GDSN-certified data pools, the GS1 Data Quality Framework, and GS1 Global Product Classification. This system provides a powerful global environment for secure and continuous synchronization of accurate product and location data. By leveraging this framework trading partners are able to share and use the same, accurate information in their supply chain-related functions and systems.
A GDSN-certified data pool is a service provider that provides customers with data synchronization services and act as a gateway to the GDSN. Data pools are certified acts to demonstrate their compliance with the GS1 System Standards for data synchronization. Through your data pool, your product data is sent to trading partners you authorize to receive your data, such as Walmart. The GDSN-certified data pools around the world have the ability to exchange data with each other (inter-operate) and ensure that your data is totally secure within the GDSN.
With GDSN, trading partners always have the latest information in their systems, and any changes made to one company’s data are automatically and immediately provided to all of the other companies who do business with them. This is the case not only Walmart but data updates are also sent to any other retail customers who are using the GDSN. When a supplier and a customer know they are using the same accurate and up-to-date data, it is smoother, quicker and less expensive for them to do business together. The GDSN provides a single point of truth for product information. Because of the standardized and automated architecture of the network trading partners may belong to any GDSN-certified data pool in order to do data synchronization. This means that you are not forced to use one data pool over another simply because your retail customer has chosen a particular provider.
