Healthcare
data for well-being
In healthcare, data exchange requires an especially secure and sensitive approach, as it directly impacts people’s well-being. EDI simplifies collaboration between the different stakeholders and ensures compliance with strict regulatory requirements like UDI.
EDI, the reliable tool for a healthy supply chain
To ensure the availability of various medicines, medical devices, and specialized foods, a complex and, above all, secure supply chain is needed. High order frequencies and short delivery times demand a smooth and reliable interaction between numerous participants such as hospitals, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, and suppliers of patient food or medical equipment. Additionally, numerous standards and requirements around labelling, storage, and delivery—tolerating practically zero errors—must be met. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) proves to be an effective solution in this highly regulated environment, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and compliance.
Connected supply Chain, secure data transmission – many benefits with EDI
Data integrity secured
Given the sensitivity of the data exchanged in healthcare (e.g., patient information, prescriptions), data security is key. EDI ensures encrypted and secure transmissions, maintaining data integrity across connected systems.
Seamless data transmission
Using EDI ensures the safe and error-free transmission of sensitive pharmaceutical information. This minimizes the risk of data errors and privacy breaches, while ensuring the continuous availability of life-saving medications.
Connected supply chain
EDI enables smooth integration among suppliers, manufacturers, and wholesalers, optimizing collaboration across the supply chain. With real-time data access for all participants, it boosts efficiency and helps avoid potential bottlenecks.
Compliance with legal requirements
In the highly regulated pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, EDI helps meet legal requirements such as HIPAA. The digital exchange of sensitive data adheres to strict security protocols, ensuring data privacy and compliance.
Global trade capability
For globally operating pharmaceutical companies, EDI is essential for managing cross-border processes efficiently and consistently. The use of standardized formats ensures that international business operations run smoothly and that regional regulations are adhered to.
Ensuring availability
Through real-time inventory exchange and automated ordering processes, EDI helps ensure that life-saving medications are always available. This reduces the risk of stockouts and improves supply reliability.
