medical office and the patient

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - October 27, 2010: CompuGroup Medical AG will
invest 130 million Euros in the healthcare system within the next 5
years. Operating expenses will include the already initiated
development of innovative new products in the Software Assisted
Medicine (SAM) product line. Various tools for the online
communication between the medical office team and the patient will be
introduced with the second of ten planned expenditures: CGM Life
eServices. They will simplify daily activities in the medical office
and save time and money - with additional benefits for the patients.
They are also designed to be especially user-friendly and are
therefore a very effective instrument for successful marketing by the
medical office.

The Internet enables the convenient organization of many daily tasks
from home - around the clock and on the weekend. Very soon this will
also include the communication between the medical office and the
patient: CompuGroup Medical is one of the first companies in Germany
that has developed a fully integrated on- line service for medical
offices - the CGM Life eServices.

In the near future, ‚onlineTerminbuchung` (online appointment
scheduling), ‚onlineRezepte` (online prescriptions), ‚onlineBefunde`
(online findings inquiries) and ‚onlineSprechstunde` (online
consultations) can be taken care of via the medical office website.
After the conclusion of the current pilot program, these CGM Life
eServices will be launched throughout Germany in early 2011. A
special point of interest for the physician: the data is compatible
with the doctor information system and is transferred within seconds.
The online services not only represent an innovative additional
service for patients, they also lower administrative expenditures and
efforts and cut down on phone calls. This results in the entire
medical office team having more time for what is really important:
Increasing the efficiency of the medical office, especially patient
care.

Here´s an example: Mr. Müller doesn´t feel well and wants to see his
doctor. On his primary physician´s website, he can see the
available under the online appointment scheduling and sends an
appointment inquiry. The office assistant confirms it directly
from the calendar of her doctor information system and initiates
a reminder text message a few hours prior to the appointment.
This effectively reduces downtime due to unkept appointments.

In the medical office, the physician diagnoses Mr. Müller with
a chronic illness and points out the online prescription section to
him: After he has used up his supply of medication, the patient is
able to conveniently request another prescription via the website
and avoids unnecessary phone calls and wait times in the
physician´s office.

Prior to his outpatient surgery, Mr. Müller still has a few
questions. With the online consultation, the medical office staff is
able to conveniently answer his questions via the doctor
information system. Waiting on hold is therefore a thing of the
past. In addition, the dialogue is immediately saved to Mr.
Müller´s chart.

After the surgery, the patient wants to know more about the
findings. His attending physician makes the information available to
him - it is just one mouse click away under the online findings
inquiries. Once Mr. Müller is back home again, he logs in via the
medical office website and is able to view his findings and even
print them out.

Not only does the physician gain valuable time through CGM Life
eServices, which he is able to spend seeing other patients, he also
increases the efficiency of his medical office and scores points with
his patients by providing them with this popular additional service.
Even more importantly: the electronic data exchange is handled in a
highly secure manner via CompuGroup Medical´s vita-X technology,
which is TÜV-certified (German Association for Technical Inspections)
and is one of the most secure systems worldwide.
