From barriers to benefits: enhancing patient-centered care through digital labeling in healthcare
Digital transformation in healthcare succeeds through a collaborative approach where partners use a common language, such as GS1 DataMatrix scanning, to create a trusted and interoperable flow of information for patient safety.
Transitioning from packaged paper-based delivered information to digital content is a significant shift for the healthcare industry, requiring careful management of patient hesitation and ensuring that digital content remains easily accessible. Regulators must prioritize patient needs by establishing clear standards for identifying both physical products and digital information, while also facilitating understanding and access to data throughout the change process. Moving too quickly without fully addressing these barriers risks the success of the transition, making patient-centered focus essential for a successful transformation.
