Healthcare Professionals

Use GS1 Standards to meet requirements for the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), including GLNs to identify your ship-to and sold-to in DSCSA transactions. If no GLNs were enumerated on your behalf, use GS1 US Data Hub® to create and assign GLNs for your own locations. You can also share your location data with other pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, healthcare providers, and pharmacies through GS1 US Data Hub. By using GS1 Standards for uniquely identifying GLNs, this tool helps avoid errors and the chance of duplicating data.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Global Trade Item Number (GTIN®) is a GS1 identification key that is used to identify a trade item. It is a globally unique number that is used to identify your specific product or service and is encoded into a UPC barcode.

Whether you are a manufacturer or healthcare provider, you can use GS1 US Data Hub | Location - Create/Manage to create, maintain, and share accurate location information with your trading partners. Using the Global Location Number (GLN) and GS1 US Data Hub helps the right product arrive at the right place at the right time, facilitates efficient business practices, drives down supply chain costs, and supports traceability and regulatory processes. 

The product data that you provide through GS1 US Data Hub | Product is basic and likely includes far fewer attributes than you’d provide through a data pool or through a product catalog. However, the foundational product data that you choose to enter in GS1 US Data Hub | Product can be as complete as you choose and adheres to GS1 Standards. The functional product data you enter is also a great source for your chosen data pool or product catalog to use to start the process of importing your data into their database, all without you having to re-enter any data. Just choose to share your Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs)/product data with your data pool (if they’re not subscribed to GS1 US Data Hub | Product yet, suggest they look into it), and they can export and upload your records directly into their databases. From there, you can supplement your records by adding additional attributes, just as you do today.
