| GS1 standards in healthcare in France | Standards-based healthcare in France took several leaps forward in 2009, and further progress is expected in 2010.
Traceability regulations are partly behind this: on January 1, 2011, any medicine sold in pharmacies must have a GS1 DataMatrix bar code encoding its name, its lot number and its expiration date. GS1 France will be working hard to accompany its member companies across the migration phase, and is offering a variety of training courses across the year.
The French national committee of university hospital directors (CNDG – Conférence nationale des Directeurs de CHU) as well as hospitals which are members of the hospital purchasing association known as UniHA (Union des Hôpitaux pour les Achats) have formally selected GS1 standards to reference their products and will make GS1 standards a selection criteria in their requests for prices processes.
