eHealth Supply Chain Reform
1. Lack of standardised product identification
2. Lack of standardised location identification
3. Multiple product data catalogues being maintained per hospital, per
hospital network and per state
Supply Chain Reform needed because:
Poor supply chain costs the health system money: • Wrong product ordered/delivered
• Wrong quantity/poor forecasting and inventory management
Automating processes enables supplier and buyer organisations to: • Reduce redundant purchasing tasks
• Improve inefficient work practices
• Achieve greater accuracy in procurement and tendering

eHealth Supply Chain Reform
eHealth Supply Chain Reform can deliver:
The right products, at
The right price, for
The right person, in
The right location, at
The right time
Accurate Data is Critical

eHealth Supply Chain Reform
Solutions
1. Lack of standardised product identification = GTIN
2. Lack of standardised location identification = GLN
3. Multiple product data catalogues being maintained
per hospital, per hospital network and per state =
NPC
4. Inaccurate and inefficient procurement practice =
eProcurement

What is Traceability?
NPC + Locatenet = Better Tracking and Recalls
1. Use the GTIN to identify the Product
2. Use the GLN to identify its location
3. Enterprise Resource Systems provide the capability
4. eProcurement used to put product on shelf
5. Recallnet Healthcare used to pull product off shelf

Project Need
• Product recalls have a large impact on all involved
• Product recalls are increasing
• Opportunities exist to improve the product recall process through new
technologies, data standards and a more streamlined process
Project Mission
To deliver an electronic product recall notification system in the Australian
healthcare sector, through a phased approach, to improve the speed and
accuracy of the therapeutic goods recall process with the aim of improving
patient safety.

TGA and Healthcare Recallnet -
clarification
It is not a requirement for sponsors of therapeutic goods in Australia to join GS1 Recallnet
Healthcare to undertake recall actions.
GS1 Recallnet Healthcare provides sponsors with an alternative method for notifying the
TGA of recall actions and communicating with customers who have been supplied
defective products.
The TGA has contributed to the development of GS1 Recallnet Healthcare through the
provision of advice to GS1 Australia on the requirements and procedures outlined in the Uniform
Recall Procedures for Therapeutic Goods (URPTG), which still apply.
The TGA has agreed that a signed electronic copy of an approved recall letter can be
distributed to customers through GS1 Recallnet Healthcare, subject to the ability to confirm
receipt.
