Healthcare eProcurement
eProcurement is the messaging suite used by both public and private hospitals, healthcare wholesalers and suppliers with efficiencies being realised across the industry in procure to pay, consignment stock and loan kit processes.
eProcurement refers to the electronic transfer of purchasing information by buyers and suppliers through supply chains. In the Australian healthcare supply chain, eProcurement processes utilise unique medicine, medical device and medical product identifiers (Global Trade Item Numbers or GTINs) and unique location identifiers (Global Location Numbers or GLNs) and related information held in the National Product Catalogue (NPC). The data follows GS1 international eProcurement standards to ensure global alignment.
We take pride in our deep industry knowledge and experience in providing today’s leading standardised and simplified solutions. We provide our clients with eHealth Supply Chain business , technical, and integration experience that continuously delivers the outstanding results they’ve come to expect.
With standardised data provided by the NPC, eProcurement improves the efficiency of the purchasing process and reduces costs. Buyers and suppliers both benefit from eProcurement through reduced order errors, standardised catalogues, better product identification and greater traceability throughout the supply chain.
The NEHTA eProcurement solution is based on Australian Standard 5023 utilising GS1xml messaging. NEHTA has written the Message Implementation Guidelines (MIGs) for the 5 key message types: Purchase Order, Purchase Order Response, Despatch, Invoice and Remittance Advice. The MIGs contain the technical and business rules to implement eProcurement between organisations.
