Germany.

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - The new German Government has announced
comprehensive reforms of the healthcare system for 2011. On October
01, the European Health Congress in Munich will provide the
opportunity to obtain comprehensive information about this topic. In
a discussion with Johannes Singhammer, member of the German
parliament, the topics to be debated will include: what
guideline-appropriate treatment could look like, what the new IT
standards are and what challenges all this poses to physicians and
health insurance providers.

"Guideline-appropriate delivery of healthcare - what are the benefits
for the payers?" This is the first title of a series of lectures
presented at the European Congress on October 01, from 11:00 am until
12:30 pm. First results from the integrated healthcare delivery pilot
program, which was started in Saarland in 2008, will be presented.
The numbers suggest the reasonable assumption that not only is there
a better way to provide guideline-appropriate outpatient care, to the
patient´s benefit, but it can also be provided at a lower cost.

To date, over 1000 type II diabetics are already enrolled in this
effective program to manage the delivery of healthcare. The medical
core element is the product SAM diabetes - a system for managing
individual treatment approaches for patients. SAM diabetes is based
on the healthcare delivery guidelines and actively provides the
treating physician with supporting information at the time of patient
contact. This solution from the family of software-assisted medicine
(SAM) is offered to all of the health insurance providers throughout
Germany and has already resulted in distinct successes in the
delivery of healthcare to patients.

After the conclusion of that presentation, Uwe Eibich, Executive Vice
President Central Europe, CompuGroup Medical AG, will explain how
guideline-based software can effectively facilitate the work
physicians carry out and how it can increase the profitability of the
medical practice. The programs are fully integrated into the medical
practice process and require a minimum of effort. Not only can the
physician increase the efficiency of his medical practice with regard
to process management and cost, but best of all, he can improve his
patients´ quality of life.

During the second part of this event, Professor Jochen Taupitz, MD
and Professor Gerald Spindler, MD, will present a lecture about
patients entitlement to benefits and the significance of guidelines.
The professors, who teach at the University of Mannheim and
Göttingen, respectively, address the topic of patient safety and
liability questions. The event will be moderated by Ulf Fink, retired
senator and Congress President.
