Supply Chain Reform Taking a fresh look at the needs of Australian Healthcare Catherine Koetz, Industry Manager - Healthcare, GS1 Australia August 2017

Introductions…

GS1 purpose GS1 believes in the power of standards to transform the way we work and live. We create a common foundation for organisations by uniquely identifying, accurately capturing and automatically sharing vital information about products, locations, people and assets We enable visibility through the exchange of authentic data We empower organisations to grow and to improve efficiency, safety, security and sustainability We are: Neutral and not-for-profit User-driven and governed Global and local Inclusive and collaborative

“Take care of the patient and everything else will follow. ” Dr “Take care of the patient and everything else will follow.” Dr. Thomas Frist Sr. Founder of the Hospital Corporation of America

Creating a visible healthcare system The first critical foundation is a policy framework requiring every product and process in healthcare to use consistent global standards that uniquely identifies patients, the processes they experience, the products used in care delivery, the places where treatment occurs, all linked to providers who deliver the care.

Patient safety remains one of the greatest challenges in healthcare today… Is the third leading cause of death in North America (right behind heart disease and cancer) Medical error Despite decades of research and safety initiatives very limited improvements have been made in addressing patient safety issues Still an issue While there is a growing awareness globally of the challenge of patient safety, there is little evidence of actual improvement in the increasing rates of deaths and serious injury related to error and adverse events. Little improvement Visibility: The New Value Proposition for Health Systems, Snowden and Alessi 2016, World Health Innovation Network

“Implementing global standards across the entire healthcare supply chain could save 22,000 to 43,000 lives and avert 0.7 to 1.4 million patient disabilities” Strength in unity: the promise of global standards in healthcare, McKinsey Report (2012)

Imagine a world where… the patient rights were reality, all the time! Right route Right caregiver Right medication Right dose Right medical device Right time Standards enable the critical connections we need to deliver the digital health solutions of tomorrow… Right patient

Supply Chain Reform versus Supply chain evolving to support the ongoing transformation to safer and more sustainable Healthcare

Transforming for interoperability Today Hospitals worldwide are transforming their operations to improve patient safety and outcomes. GS1 standards are enabling healthcare providers to use a global common language for identification and data sharing that will allow all stakeholders to work together seamlessly Changing manual process into digital ones and realising the value of GS1 Standards as critical enablers of this transformation

What are we doing or could we do to take the next step to transform what we do in healthcare supply chain?

Recent UK site visits – Highlights Meeting Meeting with people who are also trying to achieve the same goals, who have implemented projects, documented benefits and willing to share Hearing How challenges were overcome, what plans are for next projects, what they would do differently Seeing Some amazing implementations! Sharing In all directions as the sites visited were happy to share their knowledge and information but also wanted to hear about what has been done in AU Learning Ideas of where to start projects locally, but core enablers are fundamental so we need to get these in place – standards first, then build amazing solutions

Core takeaways – for us to consider GS1 standards are core enablers to being able to achieve the next layer of efficiency and visibility across health systems at a local, national and global level; It is not about supply chain or procurement in isolation – it is about what it does to make the patient pathway more transparent and safer – we need to change how we think; The value comes in the implementation in operational use – not in just agreeing to do anything – the key is finding the best point to start and do so (not all organisations are the same afterall); Regulation is the best enabler – but it is not the only way - the industry stakeholders in many countries are leading change and improvement but working together; Solution providers need to be natively supporting standards To bring the changes to life nationally we need demonstration sites – but every one can make small incremental changes to continue the transformation process
