How to ensure medical traceability?

Barcodes can be used to identify products and patients as part of every caregiving process. This ensures that the right care is being administered to the right patient.

With the help of GS1 barcodes in healthcare, hospitals can:

• Keep accurate discharge records by linking products to patients
• Better manage provision of information to medical device registries
• Enable case-based costing
• Manage high-risk products down to an individual serial number level
