Device Identifier (GTIN) Use Cases

GTINs are used to uniquely identify medical devices. In operating rooms, scanning GTINs ensures the correct items are used. It can be very stressful for clinicians when they go to scan something and it doesn’t show up in the EMR (Electronic Medical Record). Clinicians rely on accurate GTIN data to ensure patient safety and effective healthcare delivery. Updated GTIN information is vital for clinicians to ensure the correct products are used in patient care.

GTINs are also used to facilitate tracking and management of the products across supply chains. Organizations must understand how GTINs integrate with their systems, ensuring they support accurate and timely data flow through ERPs.
