Koblenz (euro adhoc) - Within the scope of the 9th Malaysian
five-year-plan, several district and regional hospitals will be
outfitted with digital information systems. After the evaluation
process being completed at the beginning of the year CompuGROUP's
local subsidiary in Malaysia, Profdoc Sdn Bhd, was given the go-ahead
to start implementation at the Bintulu Hospital, through a local
government contractor. This is a 284-bedded hospital owned and
operated by the Ministry of Health of the Malaysian Federal
Government.

It is now Profdoc's mission to successfully implement a HIS for the
Bintulu Hospital. The project will also include providing several
clinical sub-systems and services including Business Process
Re-engineering, Implementation, Training of users as well as
Post-Implementation Support & Maintenance.

CompuGROUP utilizes its strength by sharing expertise and technology
across countries and continents enabling knowledge transfer between
healthcare providers. The HIS implementation for Bintulu Hospital
will be the same product being used throughout the entire Karolinska
University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. This is just one example
that the substantial cost efficiency and high quality of CompuGROUP's
products and services are based on the systematic use of best
practice.

"With the implementation of the HIS, relevant medical information
based on patient data is made available at the right time and the
right place", is how Rolf-Henry Grønlund, Managing Director of
Profdoc in Malaysia, explains it. "CompuGROUP grows both organically
and by making acquisitions. This optimum balance facilitates the
growth required to achieve targets. For that reason, we are confident
that we will be able to accelerate the potential growth of our
products and services in emerging markets in Asia." adds Grønlund.
