Subtitle: CompuGroup Medical invests 130 million euros in the
healthcare system

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - January 20, 2011: The laboratory market
remains active. Business consolidations are in full swing and
creating new structures: facilities are combined, tasks are
outsourced. CompuGroup Medical has accepted the resulting
consequences and technical demands and adapted their internationally
tested and renowned Laboratory Information System to the particulars
of the German market.

CompuGroup Medical AG will be investing 130 million euros in the
healthcare system within the next 5 years, for the development of
future-oriented products. A series of 10 articles provides
information about the innovations. Part four of the series introduces
the Laboratory Information System (LIS), "CGM Analytix," to the
German market.

The laboratory fusions in recent years have confronted information
technology with new challenges: the lab assignments are becoming more
complex and the internal units keep growing, creating even greater
urgency for a flexible depiction of work processes to warrant a
smooth internal and external work flow. CompuGroup Medical recognizes
this need and is currently adapting their laboratory solution for the
German market.

The basis for this is the Laboratory Information System CGM Analytix,
which the company has already successfully utilized in several
countries (Scandinavia, Russia and in Malaysia, to name a few). The
proven high standard of quality and the user friendly design are the
basis for marketing the system internationally.

CGM Analytix works comprehensively in all laboratory disciplines,
e.g. clinical chemistry, microbiology and pathology. Numerous modules
organize automated cross-departmental activities, such as the
transportation of samples, communicating orders or the release of
findings. In addition, CGM Analytix can flexibly be integrated into
existing systems via interfaces and can quickly be connected to the
automated analyzer.

The first customer in Germany is the Protestant Bethesda Hospital in
Mönchengladbach; the live operation will start at the end of January.
The hospital had many valid reasons to choose CGM Analytix - aside
from the easy integration into the existing hospital information
system (HIS), fd-klinika, the entire laboratory work flow will be
optimized, requisitioned samples will be processed more promptly and
with more flexibility and the external requesters will be more
involved.
