healthcare system – part 3

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - November 30, 2010: Hospital IT systems
represent the nervous system of our hospitals´ patient care.
Reliability and maximum availability are basic requirements for these
systems. To that end, CompuGroup Medical developed the CGM G3 Systema
solution for the hospital sector. This product allows the customers
to gradually and reliably transition from generation 2 into the new
CGM G3 product line, due to its modular integrated concept.

Within the next five years, CompuGroup Medical AG will invest 130
million euros into the healthcare system, for the development of
future-oriented products. A series of 10 articles will provide
information about the innovations. The new generation of hospital
information systems (HIS) will be introduced in the third part.

Nowadays, hospital IT systems are found in nearly all European
hospitals; oftentimes they are systems that are well-established in
those facilities. However, their lack of flexibility inhibits further
development of patient treatment processes. Switching out an entire
system usually requires complex and costly projects and is therefore
a major reason why many decision-makers shy away from such a move,
even though modern hospital IT solutions can improve patient care and
contribute to cost containment.

CompuGroup Medical therefore chose a different approach with CGM G3
Systema and would like to introduce their new software generation to
hospitals as a "gentle migration". The modular web architecture,
based on the helix framework, enables the simple integration of
intelligent modules from CGM G3 Systema into existing second
generation products. The major advantages of this concept are:

1. Reduction of "time to market" for product introduction 2.
Protection of customers´ existing investments 3. Gentle migration of
customer installations instead of major "big bang" projects

Taking a look at the CGM G3 Systema functionalities immediately
reveals the benefits for hospitals: ergonomic modules facilitate the
daily work performed by physicians and the nursing staff. Since they
are integrated into a flexible workflow engine, they improve the
patient treatment processes, help reduce the duration of hospital
stays and ensure complete documentation of all services performed.
The hospital physicians will also be able to use the medical decision
support in the intermediate term, thanks to the G3 technology: they
will be connected to CompuGroup Medical´s software-assisted medicine
(SAM) platform via the helix framework.

Through the utilization of the latest web technology, CGM G3 Systema
can also be offered as SaaS (software as a service) or as a cloud
computing solution.
