Government agencies in the US, UK, EU and elsewhere now are mandating electronic product data submissions. And major customers including Group Purchasing Organizations and hospital networks need access to the data in a standard format.

That’s where the GDSN comes in. http://medgroup.biz/GDSN

On June 14 we’ll host a free webinar about the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) and how medical device product data is distributed through it.

Did you know?
• GDSN is the only way to meet the UK’s National Health Service eProcurement requirements for product data synchronization (which start this year!).
• Some GPOs now require data to be published to the GDSN as part of purchasing contracts.

The webinar will cover what the GDSN is, how it works, and how “data pools” tie in. We’ll also look at two use cases — NHS eProcurement and data requests from buyers.

Importantly, we’ll show you what you need to do to get your data into the GDSN system.

Our speakers will be:
• John Lorenc, Sr. Product Manager at Reed Tech, a subject matter expert on structured content submissions to regulatory agencies.
• Todd Simons, Healthcare Manager of the Americas at 1WorldSync, who focuses on the Healthcare industry and advises customers on data synchronization and product data management.

Your knowledge of this subject matter can make the difference between a sale or not, so take advantage of this free webinar. We’ll record the call and make it available for all who register.

Daniel Henrich, can you answer Tish Rowley’s question? Thanks.

Marketing Director at Smithwise Medical Device Development
Hi Tish Rowley, thanks for asking! Today’s webinar was geared more towards Reed Tech UDI customers and this one will be more broadly educational. But John and Todd will certainly cover many of the points they discussed today on eProcurement and buyer data as they’re really important for both audiences.
Feel free to message me if you’d like to discuss more!

Thank You Joe for raising this topic. Companies need to prepare for this game now. And by the way GDSN is widely used in Nordics.

I request information on how to post an inquiry on this site / with this group. I am forming a company in the US Pacific Northwest built around a non-invasive deep brain stimulation device, and am in initial discussions with University of Washington and OHSU on a collaborative approach. I will be seeking to identify candidate CEO’s with start-up experience with devices who might want to affiliate with this project at this very early stage. My apologies if this is an incorrect way to post this inquiry but I don’t see a link for posting inquiries for circulation to this group. Henry M. Kaiser, MBA PsyD

Is this new webinar the same as the one they did today (May 23rd)?
Will there be additional information?
