Scope: Device Identifiers (GTIN)

This view in Item Recommendations shows the recommendations for the Device Identifiers (GTIN) scope. This view displays a single list of the Device Identifiers (GTIN) attribute grouped by Buyer Part # and GHX Manufacturer Part #.

The term Device Identifiers describes a value issued by GS1 (GTIN) and HIBC (HIBCC). GHX recommends up to five device identifiers/UOMs per product. There are two use cases for device identifiers:

  • To support clinical documentation.

  • To support clinical documentation with an increased ability to scan items and manage inventory.

Data comparisons are made depending on how you manage device identifiers in your ERP for your business processes:

  • Provider Primary DI from the item master is compared to GHX Primary DI (no UOM comparison needed) for recommendation.

  • Provider Unit of Use DI from item master is compared to GHX Unit of Use DI (no UOM comparison needed) for recommendation.

  • When the provider Package DI UOM from the item master and the GHX Device Identifier UOM matches, then the provider Package DI from item master and GHX Device Identifier are compared for recommendation.

  • When the provider Package DI UOM from the item master and the GHX Device DI UOM does not match, or the provider Package DI UOM does not exist, then the acceptance of the GHX DI and GHX Device DI UOM are added to your ERP.

GHX can work with your organization to set your integration configuration to manage device identifiers for your specific business needs.

Note: In Recommendation Management, your administration users can select to review device identifiers issued by GS1, HIBC (Health Industry Bar Code), or both.

They can also select to review only Unit of Use and Primary device identifiers versus all device identifiers, which includes packaging device identifiers.
