Major milestone for AIDC Application Standards in Healthcare    

The GS1 Healthcare work team ‘AIDC Application Standards’ has submitted their change request (CR) into the GS1 Global Standards Management Process (GSMP). This work team has gathered global business, data and carrier requirements, since their formation in October 2006. It has finalised the so-called product grids, visualising which product should carry which product data, and decision trees, visualising which carrier and symbology should be used for any given product as well as a decision tree for the human readable information.

 Your help is needed to get to ratified standards for Healthcare 

The GSMP work group will now take it through the GSMP to get to ratified standards. GSMP work groups are open to broad participation from any industry group, company, or region and need proper representation from expert stakeholders in the supply chain. Anyone can participate in a GSMP work group by filling out an online membership application form through the GS1 Community Room.  

The kick-off conference call of this work group is scheduled for 18 December 2008.

To join this work group, contact Tom Heist at tom.heist@gs1.org
