GS1 has alerted us to the availability of online videos and presentations captured in Hong Kong in early October during the GS1 Healthcare Conference.  

In describing what is available and why you should take a look, GS1 said:  Take this unique opportunity to hear from (and view) representatives from Hong Kong Food & Health Bureau, China Ministry of Health, US FDA, Shanghai FDA, Hong Kong Hospital Authority, New Zealand Medication Safety Programme, Australia National eHealth Transition Authority, Turkey Medical Products Database, and many more. More than 20 industry experts have shared their insights on automatic identification, unique device identification, serialisation and pharmaceuticals, master data alignment, EHR, eProcurement, patient safety initiatives, etc. Leading healthcare organisations are advancing global standards to secure the healthcare supply chain.

You can access the online programming here. It’s worth a look because the overall line up of speakers is impressive. Of special significance is that the videos also include Jay Crowley, Senior Advisor for Patient Safety, US FDA, who spoke to the topic: “Encouraging Convergence in Regulatory Practices: Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) Unambiguous, Standardised and Harmonised Unique Device Identification (UDI).”
