Read the latest report to see the double-digit gains in proper barcoding and how this information is important in meeting full interoperability in 2023.
“Throughout the five years of conducting this focused study with GS1 US, we have witnessed drug serialized standards move from essentially uncommon and unfamiliar among our manufacturer trading partners, to almost ubiquitous in our most recent study.”
