Open to HDMA members and non-members

Level of Education Provided: Intermediate to Advanced

On Wednesday, December 5, 2007, the Center for Healthcare Supply Chain Research (formerly the HDMA Research & Education Foundation) will host a Webinar entitled, The Blueprint for Data Management & Sharing in Healthcare.

Prompted by the need for industry-wide adoption of common approaches for managing and sharing product data, the Center for Healthcare Supply Chain Research and Forrester Research, Inc., developed a Blueprint that supports data sharing across the healthcare supply chain. The Blueprint is Phase II of a three-phase approach initiated by the Center to develop the next steps for data management and data sharing.

This informative Webinar is especially designed to:

• Present the benchmark survey results that helped to shape the development of the Blueprint
• Unveil the Blueprint designed to provide a practical path forward for data sharing in a track-and-trace environment
• Outline steps needed to share data electronically in compliance with state and federal pedigree requirements

Attend this important Webinar, and learn how to use the Blueprint in your company to:

• Meet or exceed state and federal electronic pedigree laws
• Accumulate a broader picture of industry-wide operations, including exception activity, order patters and product improvement
• Manage access to shared data
• Actively monitor supply chain activity to identify and prevent suspicious activity, further enhance patient safety and increase supply chain security

Learn about the key criteria by which the Blueprint was developed:

• The ability to meet or exceed state and federal electronic pedigree laws
• The potential to evolve beyond meeting regulatory requirements
• The ability to enable the industry to accumulate a picture of industry-wide operations, including exception activity
• The capability to tightly manage access to shared data
