Pathways
From a scan to a useful destination.
Reading a code is only the beginning. The Pathways initiative explores what happens next: how a request travels from a product identifier toward information, and how that journey can remain understandable and dependable across systems.

Our focus
Make the journey work across organizations.
We will examine embedded web addresses and the role of routing domains as discussion topics, with attention to ownership, continuity, and the systems that need to cooperate. The aim is to develop use cases before prescribing one approach for every setting.
Perspectives to bring together
Healthcare systems, manufacturers, standards practitioners, information owners, and integration partners.
Questions to explore together
How do embedded URLs and GS1 Link Routing Domain approaches serve different use cases?
Who is responsible for maintaining a pathway as products, organizations, and resources change?
How can discovery work across organizational boundaries without adding unnecessary steps for users?
The collaborative opportunity
Map representative information journeys and identify the handoffs, responsibilities, and gaps that participants need to address together.
