​​BridgePoint⁴ Partner Programme

Open, standards‑based interoperability for modern sterile services

BridgePoint⁴ is GM61’s cloud‑native integration platform designed to connect sterile services systems, devices and data using open standards. It enables healthcare organisations, suppliers and technology partners to exchange information reliably, without vendor lock‑in. Built with a GS1‑first approach, BridgePoint⁴ supports national and regional traceability ambitions while allowing providers and suppliers to continue using their preferred operational systems.

Who BridgePoint⁴ is for 

BridgePoint⁴ is designed to support collaboration across the sterile services ecosystem, including: 

​​NHS Trusts and Health Boards
Enabling interoperability between existing Track & Trace systems, devices and reporting platforms.

OEMs and Device Manufacturers
Providing a consistent integration layer for washers, sterilisers and associated equipment.

Track & Trace System Providers
Allowing data exchange and coexistence where full platform replacement is not desirable or feasible.

National and Regional Programmes
Supporting standardised data models and shared reporting across multiple organisations.

Standards‑led by design

BridgePoint⁴ has been designed to align with established healthcare and supply‑chain standards, including:

GS1 identifiers
Supporting identifiers such as GTIN, GIAI, Serial and LOT to enable consistent identification and traceability.

Healthcare interoperability standards
Including HL7 and open APIs to facilitate secure system‑to‑system integration.

NHS digital principles
Supporting national objectives for interoperability, data quality and system resilience.
GM61 is engaging with GS1 UK as part of its commitment to standards‑based interoperability and industry collaboration.
