2010 Trade Show

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - December 02, 2010: A paperless medical office
- that wish was mentioned by many physicians attending this year´s
MEDICA. If one looks back at the IT development that has taken place
in medical offices in the past 5 years, the strong trend toward
digital records becomes obvious. However, much remains to be done to
increase the efficiency of medical offices. This was confirmed by the
steady inquiries into modular solutions at the medical trade show in
Düsseldorf: CompuGroup Medical received a surprisingly large number
of new orders, providing the company with positive results from their
presence.

Probably more than other business sectors, much remains to be done in
healthcare with regard to digital records. More patients than ever
expect their physicians to embrace innovative forms of communication.
However, the transition is far from complete. CompuGroup Medical
received in excess of 300 new orders at this year´s MEDICA. The
following products were in particular demand: PraxisArchiv,
PraxisManager and QM-Assist. These modules can be integrated into
every ambulatory information system (AIS) and ensure greater
efficiency: support to the medical office staff and an increase in
profitability.

The digitalization of medical offices is making great strides. High
stacks of paperwork are increasingly disappearing and being replaced
by neat and convenient IT solutions. PraxisArchiv is one of those
solutions. This digital image and document archive takes on many
routine tasks and facilitates daily routines. A recent study by the
REFA Institute confirmed that financial and organizational
efficiencies can be more than doubled with this system.

PraxisManager is another great support system - it replaces outdated
appointment calendars and provides noticeable relief to the reception
desk. With the use of intelligent staff and appointment scheduling,
this program ensures the optimum utilization of staff and space
without over or underutilization. It supports economical management
of the medical office and lowers expenses. As of 2011, it will also
enable on-line appointments.

Quality Management - a popular topic at the MEDICA With the
introduction of a quality management system, it becomes obvious to
every medical office: a good quality management system provides
operational structure to the medical office and is an important
component for success. However, just having a QM system will not
result in miracles; it has to continuously be utilized and
maintained. In light of the time-consuming and labor-intensive
operation, quality management often falls by the wayside during daily
routines.

CompuGroup Medical´s QM-Assist, which received a lot of attention at
the MEDICA, is the perfect remedy: it helps the medical staff to
quickly and simply complete quality management tasks. It handles all
of the pesky routine tasks necessary to create QM documents. The
process is guided by individual review mechanisms and the office
staff will therefore spends less time on documentation. Everybody
benefits: patients receive more targeted treatment, the staff has
fewer routine tasks and the owner of the medical practice enjoys a
higher income.
