European Healthcare Initiative

reducing risk through certainty

EAN International supporting Healthcare in Europe

Operation Meeting


European Healthcare Initiative Vision - In Summary

• “ … improve quality of patient care …... improve supply chain efficiency .. through certainty …. through use of EAN.UCC System”

• “….. by working with the Healthcare industry … globally acceptable solutions ……for the whole supply chain, from manufacturer to patient ..”

• “… identification systems … items, locations, staff….” • “ …. automatic data capture systems … “• “ …. mass e-business adoption …. EDI and XML ….”• “….end to end tracking and tracing ………..”• “ medical, surgical, pharmaceutical products and services of

all kinds ..”reducing risk through certainty

Operation Meeting


European Healthcare InitiativeOur objectives

• To promote– reduced patient risk– greater supply chain efficiency – identification, bar coding & scanning (ADC)– e-business techniques– EAN.UCC System– European healthcare supply chains

• from manufacturer to patient

• To make things happen– by working with the industry & key stakeholders

Operation Meeting


Our Focus• The supply chain – from manufacturer to patient• Pharmacy and biologics

– hospitals– community pharmacies– within the community

• Medical devices– Assistive technologies– Medical surgical

• Services– Food, cleaning, laundry, etc

• Addressing the real issues– Supply chain efficiency– Risk management

Operation Meeting


The Benefits• Improved supply chain efficiency

– administrative cost reduction– reduced stock levels– greater information transparency

• Reduced patient risk– certainty of unique identification– automatic data capture – remove human

intervention• Tracking and traceability

Value Proposition for European Healthcare

• Neutral & independent – not-for-profit• Unique system of identification

– Products, locations, logistics units, assets, patients • Multi-sector applicability; global System• Proven, world-wide – 27 year track record• Scale of use• Future proof

– Meets the needs of the healthcare market today– Track and traceability, batch number, expiry date …– Reduced Space Symbology & Radio Frequency tagging

• ‘On the ground’ support network through Membership Organisations

Operation Meeting


Reduced Space Symbology

• Identification of pharmaceuticals in the future• Food and Drug Administration – proposed rule for

unit doses and biologics• From the supply chain down the unit of use

Operation Meeting


Radio Frequency Identification

• Another form of data carrier– Needs global standardisation– Frequency, distance ………

• EAN.UCC working closely with MIT/Auto-ID Center– Establish Auto-ID Inc, now EPCglobal – Develop and market EPC

• EAN International General Assembly approved the EPC initiative early September– Likely to address supply chain applications initially e.g. pallet and

case level – Consumer unit level will follow over time: cost & privacy!

Operation Meeting


EPC Forecast adoption timelines

Unit/Shelf 2007/8 2010/14 2015+

Operation Meeting


The EAN European Healthcare Community

• All major European countries• 3000+ companies

– healthcare their core market• Multi-segment usage

– pharmacy, medical devices/surgical, assistivetechnologies

– supply chain: manufacturer to hospital/community pharmacy

– intra-hospital– scanning & electronic commerce

Operation Meeting


Our proposal to the European Pharmaceutical Industry

• EAN International collaborates with all major European industry bodies – As part of the European Healthcare Initiative

• EAN and the industry create a European-wide supply chain initiative

• Develop an industry-wide ‘framework of harmonised supply chain standards for Europe’ – for the industry, by the industry– Identification– Bar coding & label marking– Electronic messaging

• Adopt high-profile promotional position

Operation Meeting


European Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Working Group

• All functions of the supply chain• The group will consider all aspects of supply chain

automation –– the unique identification of items, such as units of use, consumer

packs, traded units, logistics units, locations and others;– symbolisation of identifiers through bar coding e.g. EAN-13,

UCC/EAN-128 and RSS / CS– electronic message formats for customer-supplier communication

• Timescales– With pace but practical and achievable

Operation Meeting



• Build on existing globally known and used data structures and data carriers to improve the physical flow between manufacturers and wholesalers

• Leverage other industries/countries experiences• Leverage suppliers existing implementations for their

deliveries in FMCG sector• Identify early supply chain ‘wins’

– Cost/benefit based

• Phased implementation– wholesaler implement barcode scanning at stock entry??

• Develop cost/benefit models for industry-wide promotion & implementation

Operation Meeting



• Intended Working Group membership:– Full-line wholesalers (GIRP)– Pharma manufacturers (EFPIA)– Generics (EGA)– OTC (AESGP)– Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) – Community Pharmacists (PGEU)– Pre-wholesalers– EAN International – Industry experts

• Other representatives introduced as required

Operation Meeting


Where we are today

• European Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Working Group– Introductory meeting 18th December 2003– EFPIA, EGA, GIRP, EAHP, PGEU, Pre-Wholesalers, industry

experts - all represented– Project proposed Terms of Reference presented– All participants now asked to gain formal buy-in from

representative organisations– Reconvene in the next few weeks

– Very positive feedback!

• National initiatives– UK, France, Ireland, Netherlands …Now Italy?

Operation Meeting


The opportunity for DAFNE• Widen the scope of The Board to embrace

automatic data collection as well as automatic data transfer (via EDI)

• Adopt the EAN.UCC System of identification and bar coding as well as messaging (EANCOM / ebXML)

• Form representative supply chain group to– Collaborate, working closely with EAN Italy (INDICOD-

ECR) – develop a standard framework of ID, bar coding and

electronic messaging for Italy– Drive adoption– Leverage European and other national initiatives

Operation Meeting


Thank you for your time today.
