Our company is providing UDI-DI (GS1-GTIN, HIBCC-UPN, ICCBBA-PPIC) data matching services to healthcare systems in the U.S representing over 200 U.S. hospitals. These services have enabled these hospitals to populate GTIN information in both their item and contract masters.
Our solution has dedicated reports structured for ERP systems like Infor and Lawson to make it as easy as possible for your team to load GTIN information for the right units of measure, including handling duplicate GTIN issues, into your systems so that implant and scanning documentation in EHRs like Epic can be accurate, amongst other benefits. Additionally, we've been told by our customers that our match rate to UDI-DIs is significantly higher than our competitors.

Yes. We identify clinically equivalent supplies using a combination of approval documentation relationships between products that have been identified to be substantially equivalent by the FDA with the various categorization and data elements of the items (like GMDNs, UNSPSCs, sizes, features and attributes of the products).
This allows us to generate a broad net of substitutes which can be narrowed down by using feature filters, similar to how one would narrow down on items searched on Amazon based on feature filters.

You can upload PO history to our web application or have it populated via a standard data feed, which will associate all items with Primary_DIs and Symmetric item IDs. This will enable your team to quickly run reports against the item master on which Special Orders are not currently in the item master, but have been frequently purchased, or are Implantable / Expensive devices that you need to add to your Infor item master. Given the flexibility of our uploads, you can check against inventory, consignment contracts, and documentation in the EHR for further identification of items that may be missing from the item master.
