4 Key Terms Global Location Number (GLN) The Global Location Number (GLN) is a GS1 standards-based, globally unique, 13-digit number used to identify locations and supply chain partners. GLNs can be used to identify a functional entity (like a hospital pharmacy or accounting department), a physical entity (like a warehouse or hospital wing or even a nursing station), or a legal entity (like a health system corporation). GLN Registry for Healthcare The GLN Registry for Healthcare is a subscription-based service that provides a comprehensive list of healthcare facilities in the U.S. with their corresponding GLNs and GLN information (e.g., name, address, class of trade, etc.). The GLN Registry serves as the single source of truth for healthcare location information enabling subscribers to access up-to-date, reliable location information for industry manufacturers, distributors, retailers, hospitals, clinics, and retail and mail-order pharmacies to improve the accuracy of their supply chain activities. As a result, the Registry solves the industry-wide challenge of inaccurate location and party information by providing a central resource of location and party information for all healthcare facilities and healthcare-related facilities in the U.S. GS1 US 2010

5 Key Terms 2010 GLN Sunrise To improve patient safety and supply chain efficiency, organizations and companies throughout the U.S. healthcare supply chain have announced their support to adopt GS1 Standards by the industry-accepted sunrise dates of 2010 for the GS1 Global Location Number (GLN) to standardize location identification and 2012 for the GS1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) to standardize product identification. The 2010 GLN Sunrise date (December 2010) established by the healthcare industry calls for the adoption of GLNs* in lieu of custom account/location numbers. This means that by December 31, 2010: GLNs are assigned by location owners. GLNs are used in appropriate business transactions and processes between trading partners. GLN hierarchy is defined and maintained by location owners. GLN Registry for Healthcare is used to facilitate correct location identification. *Unique Location Identifiers Website Link: www.gs1us.org/hcsunrise GS1 US 2010

6 GLN Benefits Patient Safety Right location: Reliable identification of precise locations within the healthcare facility ensures that the right product is delivered to the right location. Streamlined product recalls: Accurate identification of specific locations where recalled items were received, stored and/or used. Enhanced BPOC Systems: Use of bar coded GLNs in systems facilitates identification of locations where products are used/administered. 2010 GS1 US

Slide 7

7 GLN Benefits Supply Chain Management Better cash flow: Streamlines chargeback and rebate processing, reducing the amount of money sitting in unresolved sales accounts. Reduced labor costs: Eliminates the need to build and maintain cross reference tables to keep track of multiple proprietary location numbers. More efficient payment and reporting processes: Enables automatic delivery of invoices, with fewer errors, resulting in quicker processing. Facilitate contract pricing: Ensure that suppliers can easily determine provider eligibility for contract pricing as GPO rosters are aligned with GLNs. Improved information quality: Ensures location information is accurate and identical among supply chain partners which benefits both internal and external business processes. 2010 GS1 US
