Five areas of collaboration. One connected vision.
Our mission
Connect the people.
Align the systems.
Advance the possibilities.


Patient safety is a shared responsibility. The information and systems that support it should work together, too.
We connect people, processes, and business systems around that commitment. Through collaborative use cases built on open GS1 Digital Link standards, we work toward an interoperable digital ecosystem that supports better healthcare delivery and treatment.
Our role is to bring perspectives together, identify practical opportunities, and help shape solutions around the needs of patients and the people who care for them.
